Chelsea were unable to come away from Anfield with the result they wanted after an exhilarating eight-goal fiesta unfolded at Anfield.

The Blues left nothing out on the pitch and threw their bodies on the line in search for a point against Liverpool, but the champions were far too clinical in attack. The match finished 5-3 to the home side and now leaves Chelsea in desperate need of a result against Wolves in their Premier League finale.

Christian Pulisic started the game on the bench but made an immediate impact after he was substituted on for Willian just before the hour mark. In just over 30 minutes, the US international contributed a goal and an assist and completed 100% of his passes (via Sofascore).

The official Chelsea Instagram account uploaded a photo of Pulisic to celebrate his goal which forced the deficit back to just one. Loads of fans are furious that the winger was not named as part of the starting XI and are imploring Frank Lampard to never bench him again.

The £46.8million-valued winger has now taken his tally for the season to 10 goals and 10 assists across all competitions (via Transfermarkt).

He will have a few more chances to boost his numbers this season, starting with Nuno Espirito Santo's side at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
