Liverpool are still unbeaten in the Premier League this season.

Jurgen Klopp, Manager of Liverpool urges on his team during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC at Stamford Bridge on September 29, 2018 in London, United Kingdom.

Liverpool scored a last-gasp goal on Saturday to earn a point away at Chelsea in the Premier League.

The Merseyside club saw their 100 per cent start to the league come to an end on Saturday and at one point were heading for defeat due to Eden Hazard’s first-half goal.

But substitute Daniel Sturridge netted a stunning late equaliser from long-range on his left foot and it means they are now second in the league table behind Manchester City on goal difference.

It was a brilliant encounter between two quality teams that look like they could both be in the mix for the league title come the end of the season.

Ex-Liverpool striker John Aldridge reacted on Twitter to the result claiming his former side deserved a point, while also hailing the stunning strike from Sturridge.

Another ex-Liverpool forward, Ian Rush, also revealed his delight on social media and was pleased with the draw.

Liverpool were eliminated by Chelsea in midweek from the Carabao Cup after defeat at Anfield, but got some form of revenge with a late strike at Stamford Bridge.

The two English giants won’t lock horns again in the league until April and it will be interesting to see if both teams can still be in the hunt for the domestic crown.
