Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold says they're happy with their 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

Luis Diaz had the visitors ahead before Axel Disasi found an equaliser for Chelsea.

Alexander-Arnold later said: "It was kind of what we expected, [it's] always difficult coming to Stamford Bridge and we expected a difficult game and that's what we got. [We] take the point, no shame in that; we could have won the game but we also could have lost it, so we take the point.

"The disallowed goal and then obviously they score, that changes the game. At a place like this, the atmosphere and the momentum shifts and from that point on they kind of controlled everything. I think there was a point in the game when we all kind of realised that this was a game that we don't want to lose rather than we want to go and win. So although we kept attacking and we wanted to try to win it, it was make sure defensively we're sound, we work on it as a unit and there's no shame in playing for the point at a certain time.

"They asked questions, they have got really good attackers and they have tried to break us down, but I think we defended really well. I think the two centre-halves were outstanding especially in the way that they dealt with their attacking line. At times they are exposed because of the system and the way that we play but they dealt with it really well and they were in positions to cover."
