Kepa is up to his old tricks again!
His days as Chelsea's number one are numbered, with the club set to bring in Edouard Mendy from Rennes in the coming days. For now, the Spaniard remains between the sticks.
Chelsea were thoroughly outclassed by Liverpool from the very first whistle this afternoon, although Frank Lampard's side did stick with the champions for the opening half.
However, their fate seemed to be sealed after Christensen's red card just before the interval.
Red or yellow?
Did the referee get it right with Andreas Christensen's dismissal?

Jurgen Klopp would introduce new signing Thiago Alcantara at halftime, with Liverpool taking the lead a few minutes later.
It came after a beautiful team move, finished off by Sadio Mane.
"Great header, great goal!"
Sadio Mane gives Liverpool the lead against 10-man Chelsea.

He got his second of the game soon after, with a large helping hand from the Chelsea goalkeeper.
After his side lost possession, Mane would go on to intercept a lazy pass from Kepa and score into an empty net.
Brilliant from Sadio Mane, but not one Kepa will want to see again 🙈
Liverpool are now in a commanding position against Chelsea.

Gary Neville was full of praise for Mane's role in the goal, with his work rate after giving the ball away ultimately causing the mistake.
The way he pressed the ball was very impressive, but he was given a large helping hand by the opposition. This could well be the last time we see Kepa in the Premier League.
