Chelsea moved a step closer to Champions League qualification on Sunday by beating under-strength champions Liverpool 3-1 with a first-half strike from Enzo Fernandez, a ricocheted own-goal by Jarell Quansah and a Cole Palmer penalty.
Virgil van Dijk was at his best in defense, Darwin Nunez snapped a 13-game run without a goal and Diogo Jota returned to the pitch — and scored — in an impressive Liverpool win.
