It may be the match of the season, where the top two playing against each other in the last three matches. Liverpool had all the advantage by playing on their home ground Anfield. While Chelsea was playing without their first choice goalkeeper. Fortunately, the 'Special One' Jose Mourinho has drawn a special plan for this encounter.
Demba Ba opened the scoring for the visitors after Steven Gerrard slipped following a Mamadou Sakho's pass. Ba sprinted to send the ball pass Simon Mignolet. Chelsea held on to take the lead until the break.
In the second period, Liverpool increased the pressure on Chelsea. Mark Schwarzer saved a number of attempts by the home side. The Blues made sure of the win when Willian found the net after receiving a pass from former Liverpool player, Fernando Torres in the injury time.
Liverpool's 11-match unbeaten run came to end by Chelsea, who are now just two points away from the league leader. Manchester City sit six points off the Reds in third position, with two games in hand and a better goal difference as the title race looks set to go right to the wire.
