Philippe Coutinho dedicated his match-winning double to Liverpool's jubilant away supporters after ending his goal drought in style at Stamford Bridge.



The Brazilian playmaker hadn't scored since the opening weekend of the season but he returned to form as the Reds rallied to secure an impressive 3-1 victory over Jose Mourinho's Chelsea in the capital.



It was the first league win of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool reign and Coutinho was at the heart of the post-match celebrations in front of the 3,000-strong travelling Kop.



“I am so happy to score those goals,” Coutinho told the ECHO.



“It had been a long time since I last scored. I haven't been playing so well but I knew I just had to keep working and things would change for me. That's what I did.



“I kept going and I knew that good things would come. Hopefully I can go on to score many more goals. I'm most happy about the fact I was able to help the team to get the three points.



“The support we got from the fans throughout the game was amazing. They are always there supporting us and we wanted to give something back. My goals and this win is for them.”



Coutinho curled home a stunning equaliser just before half-time to cancel out Ramires' early header.



In the second half Liverpool took control as they went on to secure their biggest win at Stamford Bridge since 1989.



Coutinho's deflected shot made it 2-1 before substitute Christian Benteke wrapped up the points.



“We played a good game today and we're proud of this victory,” Coutinho added.



“It was a very important win for us because it was against Chelsea, a big team. It will be important for our confidence going forward.



“It will help us going forward as we try to climb the table.”

He is a manager who gives you every confidence

A beaming Klopp showed his appreciation for Coutinho's contribution by lifting the two-goal hero off his feet after the final whistle.



The former Inter Milan attacker says he's loving playing for the German coach, who has now gone five games unbeaten since taking over from Brendan Rodgers.

Coutinho said: “The manager was pleased - he gave me a big hug!“Everyone in the squad is enjoying the football he asks from us.“He's a manager who demands a lot of hard work. That's what we try to do every day. We have to continue this way.“He is a manager who gives you confidence. We have had some difficult moments as a team but now we're in a good way.

"We have to keep it going.”
