Mason Mount celebrates his goal for Chelsea

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Liverpool set a record on Thursday, recording five successive home defeat in a season after Chelsea ran away with a lone goal victory at Anfield.

Mason Mount’s 42 minute strike made the difference.

The Chelsea player perfectly wriggled his way through two or three opponents, and produced a low drive from the edge of the box which went inside the right side of the post.

The victory took Chelsea to fourth place on the premier league table, but Everton will go fourth if they win their game at hand.

Chelsea were the better side in the match, having 11 goal attempts, and five shots on goal, while Liverpool recorded only one shot on goal throughout the match, though with a better ball possession.
