The Reds had been through a tough period having only won one of their last seven games before today – a 1-o away win from Plymouth Argyle – but were able to step up their performance for tonight’s clash at Anfield.
Chelsea opened the scoring on the first half as Man of the Match David Luiz stepped to take the 30-yard free-kick which he blasted into the back of the net while Simon Mignolet was still adjusting his wall.
Liverpool came back even on the second period as Giorgio Wijnaldum headed the ball in from beneath Thibaut Courtois’ saving attempt. Costa then won himself a penalty on the second period but Mignolet provided a wonderful stop to save the game for the hosts.
Despite a lousy 1-1 draw, the game was a thrilling contest and the one point we got takes us all the way up to nine points clear on top of the Premier League table! COME ON CHELSEA!
