Liverpool Player Ratings as Four Reds Just 5/10 in Dismal Draw with Chelsea
Chelsea ended a six-match Premier League losing streak as Enzo Fernandez’s free-kick canceled Ryan Gravenberch’s early opener.
- On Saturday, May 9, 2026, Liverpool and Chelsea drew 1-1 at Anfield, with Ryan Gravenberch scoring in the sixth minute before Enzo Fernandez equalized in the 36th.
- Chelsea snapped a six-game losing streak with the draw, though the team could fall to 12th depending on results elsewhere this weekend. Liverpool sits 4th with 59 points.
- Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR in the second half; Cole Palmer's effort for Chelsea and Curtis Jones' strike for Liverpool were ruled out. Virgil van Dijk also missed a header from a Dominik Szoboszlai cross.
- Liverpool manager Arne Slot faced boos from the Anfield crowd after the match, as the team struggled to mount a sustained threat without key attackers Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz.
- References to the 2005 'ghost goal' surfaced during the match, which Jose Mourinho would say never crossed the line; the stalemate did little to aid either team's European qualification hopes.
