Liverpool vs Chelsea

1. 90'

   FULL-TIME: Eight straight wins for Chelsea. Drogba was involved in all four of the visitors' goals, and was a handful throughout.

2. 89'

   Crouch is punched in the head by Cech as they challenge for a high ball inside the six-yard box.

3. 88'

   "You'll never walk alone," the crowd sing.

4. 87'

   The game is drifting a little now; the result is confirmed, and Liverpool look like they just want to get back in the changing room.

5. 85'

   Gerrard curls a shot from 25 yards straight at Cech. The Anfield crowd are very subdued at the moment.

6. 84'

   Garcia latches on to Carvalho's half-clearance and smashes a volley goalwards, but a Chelsea body blocks the effort.

7. 83'

   Chelsea will feel they have made a real statement here today; four goals in a very strong showing should have the rest of the Premiership more than a little concerned.

8. 83'

   SUB: Del Horno off, Huth on. Del Horno has played well on his comeback from injury, but he is replaced by the giant German.

9. 82'

   GOAL! Liverpool go to sleep at a throw. Drogba sprints clear down the left wing, crosses low, Robben mis-kicks in front of goal but Geremi is on hand to smash high in to the roof of the net from a couple of yards out.

10. 81'

    SUB: Traore off, Ciise on. A final attacking change from the home side as they try desperately to get back in to the match.

11. 80'

    Drogba smashes a low shot in to the side-netting from a very tight angle. He complains to referee Poll about a tug on his shirt by Carragher.

12. 79'

    Robben sprints on to a long clearance, and Reina is forced to come out of his box and put the ball out for a throw.

13. 78'

    Pongolle wins a corner; Gerrard sends it in to a crowded penalty area, but Carvalho again heads clear.

14. 77'

    Gallas is still limping and feeling his hamstring; I'm not sure how he's lasted this long without having to go off.

15. 76'

    Liverpool will be left a long way behind Chelsea if they go on to lose this match; it really could be the end to any hopes they had of winning the title.

16. 75'

    SUB: Geremi on, Duff off. A defensive move from Mourinho as he sends on the powerful Cameroonian international to help see out the match.

17. 74'

    Liverpool have managed just two attempts on target so far; they haven't tested Cech nearly as much as they should.

18. 73'

    Oooh! Great skill from Crouch as he brings down a high ball in the area, flicks it over Carvalho, but he then slices his shot high over the bar from six yards out.

19. 72'

    Drogba is caught off-side as he attempts to get on the end of Robben's pass in between Riise and Traore.

20. 71'

    SUB: Hyypia off, Pongolle on. A tactical change from Benitez, with Riise dropping back to centre-back.

21. 70'

    Oooh! Riise latches on to Crouch's header but his first-time shot fizzes a couple of inches over Cech's crossbar.

22. 69'

    Chelsea are defending very deep, but are organised and solid at the back and Liverpool are having enormous trouble breaking them down.

23. 68'

    Robben rather carelessly heads straight to Gerrard. The ball is worked to Garcia, but his left-foot shot is blocked by Terry.

24. 67'

    SUBS: Robben on for Cole for Chelsea; Sissoko on for Hamann for Liverpool.

25. 66'

    Carragher attempts what might possibly be his first-ever shot; he drags it horribly wide of Cech's post.
