DOMINIC KING AT ANFIELD: Jurgen Klopp won't entertain the idea of pursuing a quadruple and making history but that message hasn't reached Liverpool's ...
A corner is swung towards the near post by Luke Berry and there to glance a header across goal is Reece Burke to give the hosts a shock lead inside two minutes. A touch of the old 'Tottenhams' about Chelsea at the start of this second half in reference to last night. A bit confused about the whole Chelsea ownership and the puzzle behind it? And what happens if the trustees REJECT offer of 'stewardship'? He is departing on a stretcher to applause from the home fans. Unfortunately his evening is done, and his punch to the playing surface is either through frustration or pain - maybe both. One falls for Saul Niguez at the back post following a cross but he can only nod wide. But what left you thinking that it might – just might – be possible to go to a place no other side has done is the professionalism and application they are taking into each contest. He must be 30 yards out before unleashing a wonderful strike across goal into the top corner. Ibrahima Diallo uses his arm to fend off Tomas Soucek on the ball but in doing so collects the midfielder full in the face above his eye, to the point the area is now pouring with blood. The Reds look like they just about have the nerve to see this out. Leading by one would have been suffice but the advantage was doubled in the 39th minute.

There were shaky moments again here, but he did show a moment of class for Chelsea's second. The German cushioned a ball with his thigh and calmly placed the ball into the bottom-right corner. This was a night their fans have long yearned for, and the team didn't disappoint with a performance that will live long in the memory in these parts. Slowly but surely, the club built itself back up and after a miraculous survival in their first season back in the Championship they are now looking upwards. Despite getting the job done in the end, Chelsea were leggy, sloppy in possession and for large portions lacked a ruthlessness that this contest and atmosphere demanded. Timo Werner made it 2-2 with a composed finish midway through the second half and Chelsea's quality ultimately told in the end with Romelu Lukaku tapping in from close range to give Chelsea the lead for the first time.

Soucek was forced off early in the second half after requiring stitches for a stray elbow to the head but West Ham replied when Willy Caballero made a mess of a Bowen corner. For West Ham, a trip to Anfield is next in the calendar. “We’re pleased for Mich [Antonio] that he got a goal but we’ve got other players that need to find some quality and start making the right decisions in the final third. “We are lacking quality at the moment in the final third,” the West Ham manager said. Romain Perraud rocked West Ham with a phenomenal, rasping strike from outside the box – it was some way to open his account for the club – before the former Southampton loanee Michail Antonio levelled in the second half.

Have to keep telling him to use his 'inside voice'. One of the Bedford Boys, with Kane. Left us for Stevenage and came back. Cool, elegant and effortless on and off the pitch. One of the driving forces in the dressing room. Thousands of Evertonians are now following him on Twitter and promising to sing a song for him at Goodison. Joined from Hitchin, has a great career ahead. Our Makelele — plays simple, reads the danger, stops a lot of attacks. Won't be surprised if he's in the Championship in two years. Turns up in a high-spec Audi Q7 one day and a Fiat Punto with the rims hanging off the next. Stops a few of ours, as well! Quiet and well-educated, oozes calmness on the pitch. Took his Tony Hibbert shirt to Bournemouth and ran to get it when we won. Had interest from League One and we're lucky he joined us last month from Wealdstone. What a start he's had. I won't be able to string two words together when I see him.
