In a formidable display of skill and speed, Eden Hazard slalomed past Liverpool players before scoring the goal that sealed Chelsea's progress in the League Cup.
The winger's sixth goal in seven appearances ended Liverpool's perfect start to the season with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday at Anfield. And the teams have a swift reunion, with Chelsea hosting unbeaten early front-runner Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday.
Emerson Palmieri leveled after Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool the lead in the 58th minute before Hazard's mesmerizing winner in the 85th minute.
The Belgium winger went past two Liverpool players around the halfway line before sending the ball through Robert Firmino's legs to Cesar Azpilicueta on the right flank.
The Spaniard returned the ball to advancing Hazard, who went past three players, cut inside and sent a shot across goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and into the net.
"For sure it's on top of the list (of goals) also because it's Liverpool," Hazard told broadcaster Sky Sports.
"When I received the ball I just looked for one, I see on my own so I just tried to do what I can do and I did well so we can go through."
