Review ShowLiverpool 2-1 Chelsea: Analysis of the vital contributions from Alexander-Arnold and Jones
During his regular post-match Review Show, which is now available to watch on LFCTV GO, Mellor shares his analysis of how Arne Slot's side secured the three points to go back to the top of the Premier League.
"I thought it was a brilliant game," the former Reds striker said. "Chelsea are good this season but it was a great victory for Liverpool.
"What a moment, what a week that was for Curtis. He became a dad for the first time, so many congratulations. He won the penalty and got the winning goal.
"It wasn't just winning the penalty and scoring the winner, it was his all-round game that stood out. He was magnificent!"
Mellor also highlighted Trent Alexander-Arnold, who defended brilliantly when up against Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto.
"Trent was magnificent," he continued. "He defended really well, was strong and dealt with whatever came up at him. Just a top defensive display from him.
"He was first in terms of tackles won, tackles, interceptions and clearances."
