13 of those shots were on target, also another Premier League record against Pochettino’s men, with the Reds scoring four goals.
The statistics highlight Liverpool's dominance as they overwhelmed Chelsea's defence throughout the encounter, with the youngster, Bradley, who contributed three of the goals, the standout player on the night.
