Liverpool were mightily impressive in blowing Chelsea away in the first half of last night's Premier League tie, with Jordan Henderson's winner evoking wide-eyed admiration from a number of onlookers:

Liverpool utterly dominated an oddly passive Chelsea in the first half at Stamford Bridge, with Nemanja Matic one of a number of Chelsea midfielders who were anonymous for the first-half. N'Golo Kanté was given Matic's old firefighting role at the base of the Blues' midfield, and with Chelsea looking toothless and lacking control in midfield, Cesc Fabregas' presence on the bench became increasingly conspicuous.
Or at least it did to one reporter, who used the final question of Jurgen Klopp's post-game press conference to quiz the Liverpool manager about Fabregas. Klopp, however, wasn't giving this question about an opposition player much time:

Klopp's side won the game and he also won the first ever game of Premier League Touchline Histrionics, out gesticulating the rival for this crown, Antonio Conte. Henderson's stunning goal evoked a series of 'BOOM's from Klopp, while he was particularly exultant post-game:
