Final score
Chelsea and Liverpool drew 0-0 on Tuesday, December 6, 2005 at Stamford Bridge.
Play by play
A fully expected 0-0 at Stamford Bridge then. Liverpool go into the Champions League draw in 10 days time as group winners and will avoid the likes of Barcelona, whom Chelsea could resume their feud with.
- 90'
Gallas pumps it long but Hyypia is too strong in the air for Cole and heads clear. Chelsea swarm forward but it's too late as the whistle blows for full-time.
- 90'
Kewell takes the ball into the corner and wins a throw, deep in Chelsea territory, as the seconds tick away.
- 89'
Liverpool rebuff Chelsea's attmept to break them down. Morientes slides the ball through the Chelsea defence but no red shirt is up in support.
- 88'
Liverpool were on for a quick break but decided to slow it down and keep possession. It looks like they are happy to settle for a point, which will make them group winners.
- 86'
Wright-Phillips hooks the ball over Traore's head but the angle is wrong and it bounces out for a throw - good idea though.
- 84'
The ball bobbles around a congested Liverpool box. Gallas looks to pounce but a Liverpool defender desperately hooks the ball over the bar...the linesman inevitably had his flag up anyway.
- 82'
Carvalho has gone off to change his footware and re-emerges wearing odd boots...he looks a bit like a kicker in American football.
- 81'
Pongolle and Gerrard combine on the edge of the box. The Liverpool skipper fires wide under pressure from Terry.
- 81'
Gerrard drives forward and waits for the overlapping winger that doesn't appear, so he shoots at goal - badly.
- 80'
The Reds make a change. Off goes Luis Garcia and on comes the pacy striker Pongolle.
- 79'
Morientes is caught by Carvalho on the flank. The defender gets booked and Liverpool get a freekick.
- 79'
More offside woe for Chelsea but this time the linesman has got it right - Drogba is caught beyond the last man.
- 77'
Chelsea are trying to hit high-balls up to the two big strikers, Cole and Drogba, but so far Liverpool have stood firm.
- 76'
Gudjohnsen lofts the ball over the defence for Lampard, who is wrongly flagged offside by the same dodgy linesman as before. Lampard throws the ball away in disgust and gets booked.
- 74'
Traore scythes down Wright-Phillips and gets booked for his welcoming tackle.
- 73'
Chelsea make two changes. Carlton cole replaces Robben and Wright-Phillips comes on for Duff. It's two up front for the Blues now.
- 72'
Robben's frustration boils over again as he brings down Garcia. Kewell completely wastes the freekick but luckily Carragher stops Drogba's counter-attack.
- 70'
Carragher stoops low to bravely head clear off the toe of Drogba's raised boot. Kewell is chasing hard in midfield but has hardly had a touch since he came on.
- 68'
Liverpool make a change. Crouch goes off and Morientes will lead the Reds attack.
- 67'
Gudjohsen nods down Robben's cross for Duff, who cuts it back for Lampard. The midfielder fires over the bar once again - he has had a poor game by his own standard.
- 65'
Del Horno plays it down the wing for Duff but Carragher beats him to the ball. Meanwhile, Traore is down injured after a tackle from Gallas.
- 61'
Robben and Essien combine in midfield before Sissoko fouls the Dutch winger and Lampard has chance to shoot. He blasts it far too high.
- 60'
Riise fails to get his cross in once again and that is his last contribution. Kewell comes on to replace him.
- 59'
Robben skips past Traore and delivers a cross for Drogba. Carragher sees the danger and belatedly manages to head clear at full stretch.
