4 Oct: Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool

It's Drog Again

Both teams came into the match with a purpose. Chelsea were boosted by Manchester United's draw against Sunderland. A win for the Blues would take them to the top of the table. Liverpool came into the match much criticised after losing to Fiorentina in midweek. Both teams had players in top form, with Didier Drogba scoring freely for Chelsea and Torres scoring 5 goals in 2 games. In a match which Chelsea dominated, Torres didn't have many chances and scuffed them when he had them. However, the top scorer in Chelsea was the opposite. He created the 2 goals that sunk Liverpool. He was magical in creating the second goal for Malouda and swept across a sweet left foot ball for Anelka for the first goal. Take no credit away from Anelka and Malouda. It wasn't an easy finish. Poor defending led to both goals and Rafa Benitez will again be looking at his defence's mistakes. Liverpool will next face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and Benitez will be hoping his defenders learn from their mistakes or be punished by Darren Bent and Kenwyne Jones who both scored against Manchester United. Chelsea take on Aston Villa at Villa Park after the international break.
