Play by play
- 98'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - And there is the whistle! Chelsea will be sick at letting in such a late goal and as Suarez laps up the acclaim he must know he'll get all the headlines for good and bad reasons. He rescues a point for Liverpool and Chelsea lose ground in the top four race. Plenty more to come on his day so keep it locked on ESPN FC.
- 97'
That is astonishing - Suarez nods the ball to Sturridge and then gets into the area and flicks past Cech from the resulting cross. He's in line for a lengthy ban but he's signed off with a goal. You couldn't make it up!

- 95'
A very muted atmosphere at Anfield. I think news of the Suarez incident may have filtered through. Still urging their team on though.
- 94'
Suarez turns in the area and offloads to Henderson but he was off balance and his volley flashes five yards wide. Tough chance.
- 93'
Shelvey fires over from 25 yards after Gerrard takes a short corner to him.

Shelvey crosses and Henderson nods on but to no-one.
- 89'
Liverpool pressing but Chelsea holding form and trying to profit on the counter.
- 88'
Some pushing and shoving now as Sturridge goes over the top of the ball on Bertrand. Liverpool play on, Chelsea go mad, Carragher pushes Luiz, Cech calms it down. Corner.
- 87'
Gerrard does well to keep hold of the ball in the area and shoot but he can't get enough power to test Cech.
- 86'
And Liverpool should be level! Shelvey played in by Henderson after Sturridge's flick but from 12 yards out and with only Cech to beat he's dragged his shot wide.
- 85'
Five minutes left for Chelsea to hold and gain a vital win.

A stretcher is coming on for Oscar. Victor Moses readying himself.

Was it a seven-game ban Suarez got for his last biting indiscretion?

- 76'
Suarez doing his best to get Liverpool back in the game. Perhaps he knows this could be his last game for a little while.
- 75'
Sturridge shows nice feet to cross to the back post but Azpilicueta clears behind. Chelsea clear the corner too.
- 73'
Each angle of that Suarez incident gets worse. No doubt he tried to bite Ivanovic's arm as they fell to the floor. He slaloms past a few players now before being crowded out.
- 72'
An awful pass from Suarez when he had Downing to his right - very unlike him. Perhaps he knows he's in trouble.
- 71'
The corner comes out to Hazard who fires in a fierce shot that is flicked over the bar by Enrique.
