The Croatian perfectly volleyed home from outside the box after Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher punched clear from a Marcos Alonso free-kick.

It is only Kovacic’s fourth Chelsea goal since signing in 2018, but will take some beating to ever top.

It was the much-needed break the Blues needed, having gone one down after nine minutes following Sadio Mane’s opener.

A mistake from Trevoh Chalobah allowed the forward in on goal and after going past Mendy Edouard it was 1-0.

Mo Salah then doubled Liverpool’s lead on 26 minutes after finding space down the right, cutting in and finishing past Mendy.

But within the space of less than five minutes, Chelsea miraculously levelled the scoring.

Following Kovacic’s stunner, Christian Pulisic – who missed a golden chance at the start of the game – made amends.

The American latched onto a ball over the top and with his left footed expertly finished over the top past Kelleher to equalise.

It left it all to play for in the second half.
