Summary

On another dramatic afternoon in this unprecedented, who-blinks-first race for the championship, Liverpool responded to seeing Manchester City win 3-1 at Crystal Palace by sweeping aside old foes Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield to go back top and move onto 85 points, which would have been enough to win nine previous Premier League titles. And to react to what was a superb victory, we have a bumper Post-Game podcast, which starts with the definitive verdict on the action from our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, continues with the full audio from Jurgen Klopp's brilliant press conference after the match, and features nine buoyant Reds supporters who called into the show.
