Jurgen Klopp has equalled Arsene Wenger’s record that stood for 19 years after guiding Liverpool to a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Friday night.
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren opened the scoring in the 17th minute before Captain Jordan Henderson doubled the Red’s lead at Stamford Bridge with a sublime string from long range.
Chelsea striker Diego Costa pulled a goal back for Antonio Conte’s side but it wasn’t enough to stop them from suffering their first Premier League loss of the season.
And for Klopp, it was his second consecutive victory at Stamford Bridge after overseeing the 3-1 victory over Chelsea in west London last season.
According to OptaJoe stats – "Jurgen Klopp is the first manager since Arsene Wenger in 1997 to win his first two PL visits to Stamford Bridge as a manager".
The German has now become the second manager since Arsene Wenger to have secured wins in his first two fixtures at Chelsea’s stadium.
Arsene Wenger first set this record in 1997 with a 3-0 win and a 3-2 victory.
