CHELSEA boss Maurico Pochettino had absolutely nothing to smile about at Anfield tonight.
His side suffered another humiliating Premier League defeat, this time to title-challengers Liverpool.
There was a significant gulf in class between the two teams in every area of the pitch, with 20-year-old full-back Conor Bradley running the show.
Diogo Jota walked straight through the Chelsea defence to break the deadlock in the 23rd minute before Bradley doubled Liverpool's advantage just before half-time.
Dominik Szoboszlai scored the third before Christopher Nkunku got one back for the Blues.
But Luis Diaz restored the three-goal advantage from close range to seal the three points.
