Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea result, stats and report

Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday, with an early Pascal Groß own goal and a clinical Alexander Isak finish settling the match before half-time. Brighton competed hard but were punished for their sloppiness at the back.

Tottenham Hotspur won 2-0 at Chelsea thanks to a Mike Penders own goal and a late Mathys Tel strike, with the hosts reduced to ten men after Cole Palmer was sent off for a second yellow card in the 80th minute.

Club Brugge host Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday 25 November 2026, and the form book says goals are coming. The question is whether Liverpool can keep any of them out.

Liverpool have scored nine Premier League goals in seven games against 15 in four cup and European fixtures, and Andoni Iraola says he 'doesn't really know the reason'. With Brighton's high-scoring attack visiting Anfield, the stark split exposes a low-block problem that outlasted Arne Slot's tenure.

Cole Palmer's red card capped a chastening afternoon for Chelsea as Tottenham won at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2018, with Xabi Alonso urging his forward to learn from a second disciplinary flashpoint in eight days.

Nicolas Jackson's brace against Manchester City extended his hot start at Aston Villa, with his minutes-per-goal and conversion rate already surpassing his Chelsea numbers. Pundits now call him an upgrade on Ollie Watkins, while a contrasting Garnacho loan situation shows Villa's recruitment is calculated, not reckless.

Alex Scott has rejected a new Bournemouth contract, leaving the England midfielder open to Liverpool and Chelsea interest in January. But with Chelsea simultaneously chasing Frenkie de Jong, Adam Wharton and Manu Kone, Scott's link is just one strand of a sprawling midfield wishlist.

Roberto De Zerbi insists Tottenham's medical staff are not to blame as nine players miss the trip to Stamford Bridge, where Spurs have won just once in 42 matches. Chelsea, meanwhile, have eradicated last season's disciplinary problems under Xabi Alonso, though doubts linger over deputy goalkeeper Mike Penders.
