Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott admits there's frustration after their 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
Kai Havertz gave Chelsea the lead after 22 minutes before Reece James' handball in the penalty area led to his dismissal and Mohamed Salah's equaliser from the spot.
Elliott said, "It just wasn't our day. We tried what we could, gave it 100 per cent and unfortunately we came away with the draw. I think the mood in the changing room is a bit down because obviously we wanted to come away with the win against 10 men.
"Chelsea obviously are a top-class side, they fought until the very end and were hard to break down, so you've got to give them credit. It wasn't really our day. We'll reflect and go again against Leeds.
"It's not too bad when you're playing in a Liverpool side like this. With top-class players, you try to copy everything that they do. Physically it was hard because it's a top-class side. You had to be 100 per cent defensive and obviously you had to do the attacking work as well. To come away with a draw isn't the end of the world but we always wanted to get the win.
"We wanted to fight until the end to push for the goal but, like I said, it just wasn't really our day. Chelsea are a top-class side, as you can see, and to start against them and play a full 90, it's a dream come true to play in front of this Anfield crowd as well. I'm just disappointed to not come away with the three points."
