00:00Liverpool's first game since being crowned Premier League champions.

00:05Ends and defeats Chelsea, 3-1 loss here at Stamford Bridge.

00:10It was a good occasion for the away supporters, they were in fine voice all their afternoon.

00:17The vast majority of them making the trip down via coaches because of the issues on going

00:23with the trains, but they were in good spirits throughout.

00:25Arnest lost knowledge on his post-match press conference, but it was a little bit of a

00:31disappointing performance in truth.

00:34You could see why it was because Arnest made six changes to his Liverpool team, more than

00:39half of the outfields were changed and Liverpool just lacked a little bit of coherence throughout.

00:45A few players just looked rusty and maybe if you made one or two changes here and there

00:52Liverpool might have soft as much when they come up against the Chelsea side who were

00:57pushing for Champions League qualification.

01:00Plenty to play for.

01:03Chelsea weren't fantastic, but Liverpool just weren't at the races, albeit they had a lot

01:08more of the ball.

01:09They just struggled to create chances really and only had the two shots on target.

01:14Chelsea took a lead in the third minute through Enzo Fernandes.

01:16Pedro Mettel got down the right, put a cross in the box and there was Fernandes in plenty

01:22of space to sweep home.

01:24Liverpool responded fairly well.

01:26Cody Gatpo threatened down the left a couple of times.

01:30Mo Salah would have had a big chance if he'd have been able to control Trent Alexander-Arnold's

01:35pass when he was in the box, but his touch just let him down.

01:39So that, the build struggled in the first half to really test Robert Sanchez and the Chelsea

01:44goal in the second half before what can they do now, but they conceded an unfortunate second

01:50goal Liverpool when that man Neto again putting the ball in the box caused a little bit of

01:54chaos.

01:55Virgil Van Dijk cleared, thought it was going to be fine, but his clearance hit fellow centre-back

02:01partner Gerald Quanta, one of the changes who could come into the team and the ball ricocheted

02:06into the back of the net.

02:07After that, Liverpool decreased a couple of chances, the best chances, but he couldn't

02:12get them on target.

02:14Darwin Nunes had a header and he was picked out inside of the box, but not as well off target.

02:20And then it was the turn of Mo Salah, who had plenty of space to the back post, but he

02:26couldn't keep his area left on target either.

02:28And the breakthrough for Liverpool did arrive in the 85th minute.

02:32Virgil Van Dijk powering home and Alexa McAllister cornering for what can Liverpool do now in

02:37this last five, ten minutes?

02:39Ten minutes were stopped at the time, but it didn't create anything.

02:43It was Chelsea who put the game to bed when Gerald Quanta was sold slightly short by Dominic

02:49support, slide a pass, conceded a penalty, which Cole Palmer made no mistake to fire home.

02:55But, yeah, I think Arna Slott said there's a pre-match press conference, dunk judges now,

03:02judges on the past performance as the one was the league title.

03:06I think you have to do that.

03:07Look at Arsenal, if he's at Anfield next week, I think you can see maybe a stronger team.

03:12Arna Slott didn't have Brian Gavin Birch in the squads whatsoever today.

03:16The rest of the likes of Canati, McAllister, Dominic Sabozlai, Andy Robertson was another.

03:22He might decide to bring a few of those back into the side.

03:27He felt a little bit for some of the players, as you say.

03:30Gavin plays a lot all put together, but there were some disappointing performances as well.

03:34Harvey Elliott could get going.

03:36Diogo Jota's form is a worrying trend.

03:41But, yeah, the supporters are in full voice, full credit to them.

03:45Leaving the stadium, they were still chanting.

03:48And that's what it'll be for the next three games until they've been hoisted.

03:52The Premier League title aloft after the last game of the campaign against Crystal Palace on May 26.

03:57Fenders here, Chelsea 3, Liverpool 1.
