Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah scored against former club Chelsea but the Reds were denied a fourth consecutive Premier League victory by Willian’s late goal.
Salah, who left the Blues last year after a brief and unsuccessful spell at Stamford Bridge, raced onto Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s ball to side-foot home the opener in the second half.
It was Salah’s 10th goal in just 13 Premier League games this season in what has been an incredible start to the Egyptian’s Liverpool career.
Chelsea had beaten Qarabag 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday but showed only flashes of their attacking quality in this game.
But they got lucky in the closing stages when Willian’s apparent cross drifted over Simon Mignolet and into the back of the net.
Chelsea’s are unbeaten in their past six visits to Anfield, a run stretching back to 2012.
