Henderson’s curling finish crowns Liverpool’s win at Chelsea
Jordan Henderson’s long-range strike gave Liverpool a two-goal lead at Stamford Bridge, and they held off Chelsea’s response to win 2–1.
Opinion and history from a Liverpool supporter.
2015–2024
European champions, world champions, then champions of England. Klopp’s pressing game and connection with supporters helped return Liverpool to the top.
The 2019 Champions League was followed by Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years in 2020. Domestic cups followed in 2022 and 2024. Salah, Mané and Firmino led the attack, with Van Dijk and Alisson transforming the defence.
