His cross was headed towards goal by Virgil van Dijk but Arsenal's David Luiz cleared off the line and then another ball from the full-back was volleyed straight at goalkeeper Bernd Leno by Sadio Mane.
American fans of the Premier League can all relate to waking up earlier than they would prefer on weekends. Everyone has a routine, but my routine for a Premier League morning surpassed everyone else’s.
This time, I decided to film my experience as a Chelsea supporter waking up to watch the Blues lose to Liverpool 2-0. Mistakes from Kepa, run-ins with Peacock and a true British breakfast all made an appearance in my morning.

With the NBA nearing the climax of its drawn-out season and the Premier League campaign just beginning, I often find myself drawing parallels between the two leagues. While soccer and basketball are very contrasting sports, the NBA and the EPL have a striking number of similarities.
Both are flowing games and have seasons that extend across nearly three quarters of the year. These similarities become more obvious when you consider the coaches, players and teams in each league. Here are some of the best examples corollaries between the two leagues:
Frank Lampard says he was "amused" by Jürgen Klopp's comments on Chelsea's transfer spending and that Liverpool's heavy expenditure in previous years had laid the foundations for last season's Premier League title triumph.

Leeds United returned to the Premier League after a wild 16-year journey into the depths of the English league system with a match at Anfield, home of reigning Premier League champion Liverpool.
