Post-Game: Liverpool's perfect start ended by Chelsea amid new VAR controversy at Anfield

All good things must come to an end, and after seven straight wins, Liverpool have suffered their first defeat of the season after losing 2-1 to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. And in our Post-Game podcast, we get the view from the pressbox, the stands and the dugout on what was a frustrating night at Anfield. The podcast starts with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce. You then hear from four Reds supporters who have phoned into the show – Ross Strachan, who is gutted, Simon Donnelly, who is not, Mark Baker, who works at an academy at a Championship club, and Alex Watt, who could be in for a long few days before Liverpool attempt to exact revenge in this weekend’s Premier League meeting between the sides at Stamford Bridge. There was no doubting the quality of Eden Hazard’s winner. But controversy surrounded Chelsea’s equaliser and Jurgen Klopp spoke about just that in his press conference, which we have audio highlights from, and which rounds off the podcast.
