It looked so easy for Liverpool. Nice little interplay between Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. Sadio Mane timed his run to perfection and heads it straight past the keeper. Liverpool have come out absolutely flying.

Chelsea have to sure up now because Thiago will be looking for those killer passes.

Thiago gets his first touch in a Liverpool shirt, popping the ball off for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

All 11 Chelsea players had their average positions inside their own half in the opening 45 minutes, compared with only three of the Liverpool players.

Away we go for the second half.

One way traffic?

A change for each side at the start of the second half.

Thiago is on for his Liverpool debut, replacing skipper Jordan Henderson.

Meanwhile for Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori in place of Kai Havertz.

Mark Burt: Any promise Christensen showed a few years ago has long since been extinguished. Not sure what he offers other than mistakes.

Simon Turner: That red card for Andreas Christensen likely means an extended stay at Chelsea for Fikayo Tomori.

Lifa Nati: Andres Christensen has never been a good defender for Chelsea, average at best. Crazy he's lasted this long. Now he's cost them the game.

I think Frank Lampard will be quietly speaking to Andreas Christensen saying "I'm not happy you have been sent off but you had to make that challenge" because Sadio Mane was going to score. It's still 0-0.

Andreas Christensen is the first player to be sent off in a Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Liverpool since Frank Lampard in February 2009.

He is also the first Chelsea player to be sent off at Stamford Bridge since David Luiz in 2017.

Meanwhile, Thiago is going through a thorough warm-up for Liverpool at half time.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey speaking to BT Sport on his performance and recent praise: "It was a good win for the boys. I appreciate all the praise I get and I'm thankful for it all. I just need to keep working hard."

On manager Graham Potter's influence: "He is a fantastic coach for a young player like me to have. He has a clear project and he's always speaking to me about what I can do to help the team.

"It really helps when you have someone who believes in you."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton striker Neal Maupay to BBC Sport: "That was my first brace in the Premier Leage so I'm really happy. First of all perofmrnace from team was really good.

"It's weird now with VAR. I was sure I wasn't offside but then I saw the linesman so a lot of things went through my mind. After a few minutes they said I was onside. It's a bit different to celebrating a goal after two minutes.

"It's not easy to wait before taking a pen, especially when you've missed your last one. I was tyring to stay focused on how to take it."

On Tariq Lamptey: "He's amazing. We're so lucky to have him. First half he was involved in everything. He's got pace, quality on the ball. He gives us a lot of different things. To have him with us is really good. I’m really happy for him. He works hard every day. He’s a good guy. He’s humble. Everyone loves him here."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Graham Potter to BBC Sport: “I can’t think of one [better start]. I’m delighted with the start. It reflects the attitude the players have had all week.

“To keep a clean sheet and score three goals, creating a few more opportunities and limiting our opponents to not much was positive. I’m delighted for the players. It’s good to get up and running in the Premier League.”

On Tariq Lamptey: “He’s so refreshing to work with. He threatens the back line with pace but also the desire to do it. He’s a fantastic boy who wants to improve and help the team. He’s a breath of fresh air.”

On Yves Bissouma’s red card: “Knowing Yves there won’t be any intent so it’s whether it’s an uncontrolled action. It’s the one disappointing bit of the game. We’re 3-0 up, there’s no need for Yves to hurt the player – he’s not that type of player anyway.

“We have to keep working. This is just one game. The games come thick and fast.“

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce to BBC Sport: “It was a really difficult afternoon for us. We gave ourselves a mountain to climb. We’ve gifted them the first two goals. When you start like that it’ll be a difficult afternoon.

“We changed formation at half-time and it helped us slightly but we couldn’t recover from an awful 10 minutes.”

On Yves Bissouma’s red card: “I don’t know what the lad is doing. He was showboating before that and it’s a nasty cut [to Jamal Lewis]. But it’s not the cut we’re worried about. He’s got an aberration on his eye we think. By the letter of the law it’s pretty obviously dangerous, I don’t know why he’s doing it when he’s left a mess like that. I don’t think he intended it but it’s stupid.

"Since I’ve been here it’s like this. We do OK for a while then we throw a hand grenade in. We’ve got to be better than we were today.”
