“This kind of soccer not a lot of teams could playwith,” said Klopp.
“But we play in our manner, we attempt to win football games.
“In the end we need to get the things, there’s absolutely not any rivalry in technical things, it is all about the points.”
As Trent and Roberto Firmino’s header gave them control in the interval klopp’s title pace-setters appeared to acquire in relaxation.
Chelsea, who was denied an equaliser when VAR ruled out for offside Cesar Azpilicueta effort, have been in no mood to capitulate and made Liverpool fight every inch of the best way to maintain that record.
Tammy Abraham had opportunities to boost his tally of seven goals this year, particularly when he was refused by Liverpool keeper Adrian when clean through in the first half, but it had been left to N’Golo Kante to establish a grandstand finish with a superb hit with 19 minutes to perform.

Liverpool remain unstoppable in their Premier League duel with Manchester City after among these victories if they are to maintain the big prize in the end of the 37, all potential champions will need to secure.
The side of jurgen Klopp have made a tradition of releasing an blitz that was attacking since the beginning of last season on opponents in a streak of just one league loss.
This was different.
Chelsea were constantly in this game and pushed the Celtics leaders right before the last whistle, although liverpool may have looked to have been during this period edge.
They were sloppy than normal were much beneath their best and on occasions looked excruciating – but that they emerged victorious by what is traditionally one of the very hazardous away assignments about the calendar.
Over the course of a very long campaign, a season Liverpool will hope will finish their wait to get the name, it’s victories on times when opponents are ignored, such as this which is vital, or even more so, than the times.
The joy at the final whistle of klopp, compared to some of the expressions of fury throughout the game, said it all.
This is really a victory. Liverpool’s bandwagon rolls .
Chelsea have to succeed at home in Champions League and the Premier League this year, without a defeat Liverpool is anything other than an painful encounter.
And yet, despite this loss coming hard on the heels of their home defeat by Valencia in their opening Champions League group match, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will take great comfort and optimism from the operation of his team.
This is a brand new Chelsea, being constructed in a new fashion by Lampard, and working on youngsters like Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount.
When Liverpool went two up through Firmino’s header after poor marking at a free-kick, the goal coming moments had been overruled by VAR, it’d have been simple for Chelsea’s minds.
Nothing could have been farther from the truth as they pushed and pressurised Liverpool until the final whistle before receiving a appreciative and warm ovation.
Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga might have retained them using a stunning save from Firmino in it however Chelsea, driven by the magnificent Kante, were left cursing those opportunities for Mount along with Batshuayi which could have made them a point.
No Chelsea conquer is not difficult to take, especially against Liverpool, however, that was a performance that will give encouragement and hope to Lampard.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp:”The first half has been difficult work. It is all about momentum in games like this and I believe we have that at the first half. We scored two goals that were excellent and we could have scored straight after half time . We deserved the three points, it’s challenging to win ”
“We’re only here. Chelsea, six games in. We haven’t won anything so we must carry on. We have to be prepared for every competitor. They’re all waiting and want to provide us a knock, rightly so, but we need to be prepared to do that which we must do.”
