- 73'
Ashley Cole blows Chelsea's best chance of the game, air-kicking at the ball after a superbly deft header from Di Santo. The ball was right in front of Cole begging to be rifled home on the volley, but he sliced it and holds his head in his hands. Couldn't happen to a nice chap.
- 72'
Di Santo does well to keep the ball in, but his delivery only finds Agger.
- 71'
Cole is is getting tetchy, and could be about to lose his short temper.
- 70'
Chelsea playing very deep at the moment as Liverpool press. Deco is picking up the ball on the edge of his own box. From a goal kick.
