Re-live Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield in vital clash in context of EPL title race.

A heartbreaking blunder from Steven Gerrard and a Jose Mourinho master plan pegs Liverpool’s EPL lead back in a Premier League blockbuster.

CHELSEA has reeled Liverpool’s lead back to two points at the top of the Barclays Premier League after a 2-0 win in an absorbing clash at Anfield.

Demba Ba opened the scoring in first-half stoppage-time, cashing in on a slip from Steven Gerrard on half-way in a moment that will haunt the Liverpool skipper.

Jose Mourinho’s side came with a fierce resolve, workrate and defensive blueprint, which frustrated and stifled Brendan Rodgers’s usually free-flowing outfit.

Socceroos legend Mark Schwarzer was immense for Chelsea, making a couple of crucial stops, while commanding his area throughout the 90 minutes against a Liverpool side that couldn’t conjure the fluency we’ve associated with them in its run to the EPL summit.

With Liverpool throwing everything at Chelsea in the final exchanges, Fernando Torres cashed in on a turnover, and sauntered towards Liverpool’s goal, before luring Simon Mignolet and teeing up Willian to seal the result.
