If you thought Dejan Lovren scored the goal of the match, Jordan Henderson has got the goal of the early season.
After a poor Chelsea clearance off a Liverpool throw in, the ball fell to the Liverpool captain and from about 25 yards out, drilled one of the most perfect shots you’re going to be seeing for a while.
WOW, Jordan Henderson. Just wow.@ChelseaFC 0 – 2 @LFC #PLonNBC https://t.co/LZgMRtndA3

There isn’t much for Thibaut Courtois to do. He tried his best but this was just so perfectly placed. If you can get it deep into the upper 90, you’ve earned that goal. And it put Liverpool up 2-0 over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
