Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic has scored a stunning volley against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
Liverpool had taken a 2-0 lead in the title battle in West London courtesy of goals from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
However, a frenetic, end-to-end first half was lit up shortly before the interval when Kovacic produced a goal of the season contender to halve the deficit.
Caoimhin Kelleher punched a free kick clear as far as Kovacic, who was backtracking but still managed to control his first-time volley and send an unstoppable effort in off the post.
The start of Chelsea's fightback...💪
