Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool: Coutinho hits double as Reds pile pressure on Mourinho

The Brazil international impressed for Jurgen Klopp's men as the Reds came from behind to beat a beleaguered Blues side, and pose even more questions of the Portuguese
Philippe Coutinho scored twice as Liverpool came from behind to beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and pile pressure on under-fire manager Jose Mourinho.

The Blues have endured a torrid start to the season - winning just three times - and headed into the game with questions persisting over Mourinho's future, though Ramires opened the scoring with a fourth minute header.

The Reds hit back, however, with Coutinho curling a brilliant effort past Asmir Begovic from the edge of the box to level the scores prior to half-time.

Coutinho then grabbed his second in the 74th minute, his effort deflecting off John Terry, before Christian Benteke completed the scoring with a low finish from just inside the box 10 minutes later.
