While Chelsea and Arsenal have sometimes failed to capitalise on the misfortunes of their fellow Premier League title rivals this season, the same was not said for Liverpool on
Thursday evening, as Arne Slot’s juggernaut made the most of the Blues’ shock loss to Fulham earlier in the day.Liverpool’s mettle was tested more so than usual courtesy of a Jordan Ayew opener, but the Reds came streaming
