On a warm, summer evening which was dominated almost entirely by the iconic moment of Jordan Henderson finally getting to lift the Premier League trophy at Anfield rather than the actual 90-minute football match beforehand, it would be easy to gloss over the fact that Liverpool and Chelsea played out one of the most enthralling contests of the season, featuring an array of extraordinarily high quality goals.

Naby Keita's first half thunderbolt and Trent Alexander-Arnold's latest pinpoint free kick (almost a perfect replica of the one he dispatched against Crystal Palace a few weeks ago) were probably the most eye-catching at first glance, while Christian Pulisic's mazy dribble in the build-up to Chelsea's second was also a sublime piece of play.

Arguably the pick of the bunch, though, was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 84th-minute strike to make it 5-3 on the night, just five minutes after coming on as a substitute in place of Mohamed Salah.

In so many ways, when you break it down into its component parts from start to finish, it's perhaps the archetypal Jürgen Klopp Liverpool goal – a perfect distillation of everything this team is about.

It all starts with Reece James curling a free-kick into Liverpool's box from the left-hand side, which Andy Robertson heads clear, straight to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who then cushions a header down to Curtis Jones. With his first touch, the 19-year-old flicks the ball into the path of Sadio Mané, who gallops forward before playing in the onrushing Robertson down the line.

The Scot ghosts past Jorginho with ludicrous ease like he isn't there, at which point he has four Chelsea shirts to avoid, and only two in red to pick out in the box.

A goal made by Andy Robertson and finished by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 15 magnificent seconds.

Somehow, he manages to squeeze it through the narrowest of corridors to find Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain steaming in at the back post, but he still has a huge amount to do with the finish with the ball rolling across his body and no time to take an extra touch to set himself.

It's the kind of shot which is so easy to slice high or wide, but Oxlade-Chamberlain takes it in his stride brilliantly, punching it with cleanly with enough venom so that Kepa can do nothing to prevent it going in.

The whole move takes 15 seconds from the moment Robertson clears Chelsea's free-kick to the ball ending up in the back of the net – a ruthless demonstration of Liverpool's searing pace and precision in transition from one end to the other, turning an opposition set piece into a chance of their own.

Packaged within the sequence, you have one full-back heading the ball to the other, two Scouse academy graduates exchanging passes on the edge of the box, the same full-back who made the initial clearance running the length of the pitch to provide the assist, and a central midfielder arriving late in the box to cap it all off.

It's the kind of goal which has become so deeply embedded in the repertoire of this Liverpool team that you can almost take it for granted, but it's one which so few teams in world football are capable of producing, because it requires exceptional speed of movement to be matched by speed of thought.

There could hardly have been a more fitting, scintillating moment to wrap up the victory and set the scene for what was to come.
