Not Brad for starters

Liverpool wonderkid Conor runs the show as he bags his first Anfield goal as Reds thump sorry Blues

LIVERPOOL swept Chelsea aside to maintain their title push and move five points clear at the top again.

Conor Bradley was the star in only his second league appearance. The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international scored the Reds' second in between assisting for their first and third goals.

Diogo Jota fired Liverpool in front with his 13th goal of the season before Dominik Szoboszlai headed home and Luis Diaz netted.

Darwin Nunez crashed a penalty against the post and Chelsea belatedly offered some resistance when sub Christopher Nkunku scored their consolation effort.

Diaz got a fourth late on to make it a rout and ensure there was no fightback after Nkunku's effort.

Asked about his first goal, Bradley said: "It's a very proud moment, something I dreamed of for a long time.

"I feel like I'm in a dream.

It's unbelievable.
