Liverpool scored an impressive win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

It’s safe to say after Liverpool’s 2-1 victory at Chelsea yesterday that Jurgen Klopp’s side is for real. It might even be fair to say that Liverpool have what it take to challenge for the Premier League title this season. Then again, this was just an early season result…right?

The reality is both teams learned a lot about themselves as a result of yesterday’s match. It was a captivating affair that may have been the Premier League’s best match of the young season.

The entertaining nature of the contest won’t be any comfort to Antonio Conte though. As elated as Klopp was about his team’s performance, the Chelsea boss was irate with his own club. Each manager learned drastically different lessons from the intense encounter.

As is usually the case with early season matches, there’s more value in what each manager learned about their club, than the actual three points earned. Read on to discover the top five lessons that Chelsea and Liverpool learned about themselves as a result of yesterday’s match.
