Liverpool v Chelsea LIVE: Bizarre Fernandez free-kick draws crisis-hit Chelsea level at Anfield

The Reds can all but secure their place in next season’s Champions League but Chelsea are in desperate need of three points to boost their own European hopes

WATTCH: First-half goals

Here’s the two goals from that first half. A superb finish and a slightly odd free-kick that goes all the way through

HALF-TIME! Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

That’s half-time at Anfield. A really compelling game of football between two flawed sides.

Ryan Gravenberch put Liverpool ahead with a superb curling finish before Chelsea equalised thanks to Enzo Fernandez’s bizarre free-kick.

WATCH: Enzo Fernandez equalises with bizarre free-kick

Here’s Enzo’s goal. There was no Fofana touch...

Liverpool have now conceded their mist-ever set-piece goals in a season though

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, 42 mins

It’s been confirmed that Wesley Fofana didn’t get ta touch on Enzo Fernandez’s goal. Which we knew, really

SAVE! Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, 39 mins

Liverpool are suddenly on the ropes! There is an acre of room between right-back Jones and centre-back Konate which Enzo strolls through and the pass finds him.

He strikes a decent shot at goal but Mamardashvili stays big and parries it clear. A save you’d expect to him make but Chelsea carved Liverpool open

'It looked as though Fofana missed it by some distance'

Here’s Richard Jolly at Anfield

The PA announcer gave the goal to Wesley Fofana. It looked as though he missed it, and by some distance.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea (Enzo Fernandez, 35 mins)

And Chelsea are level! It’s a slightly bizarre one. Enzo Fernandez takes a free-kick 35 yards out, puts it in a great area, Wesley Fofana has a swing at the bouncing ball, appears to miss it and the ball goes into the corner, off the post, anyway with Mamardashvili unmoved.

Fofana is claiming it, saying he got a touch but I’m not sure he did... I think that’s Enzo’s goal. Regardless, Chelsea are level!

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea, 31 mins

Cucurella has been Chelsea’s most dangerous player so far in his more advanced position. He starts a move and then makes a great drat into the box which is picked out by a ball over the top.

He chests it but Mamardashvili is off his line to smother the ball at his feet just before he can get a shot away.

He then gets to the byline well but has his cross blocked and it bounces back off him for a goal-kick.

SAVE! Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea, 28 mins

Mamardashvili forced into action as Cucurella finds space on the left and lashes a shot across the face of goal, with the Georgian stopper diving outwards and getting a hand on it to push it away.

Hard to say if it would have gone in the far corner or not but a decent stop.

Hato switching positions to try and unsettle Liverpool. He pops up on the right, overlapping Andrey Santos but then gives away a foul by grabbing the arm of the Liverpool player
