Play by play
- 94'
FULL-TIME: A controversial penalty decision allowed Chelsea to take a share of the points. Jose Mourinho will certainly be the happier manager this evening.
- 92'
Crouch again wins a header in a dangerous area but Torres can't get to the ball quickly enough.
- 90'
Pizarro, an isolated figure up front as Chelsea play safe, is crowded out by the Liverpool defence on the edge of the eighteen yard line.
- 89'
Babel's powerful shot from twenty yards brushes against the side-netting of Cech's goal. Some on the far side of the ground think he has scored. He hasn't - and time is running out for someone to snatch the winner.
- 88'
Crouch wins a header but nobody in a red shirt is on hand to capatalise.
- 86'
Mikel is down receiving some attention.
- 85'
They're all coming on now. Alex is replacing Malouda.
- 84'
Liverpool are denied a corner when Cech appeared to get a fingertip to Kuyt's header.
- 83'
Gerrard's corner is well defended by his England team-mate Frank Lampard.
- 82'
Cech saves with his feet from Riise after good work from Babel. Liverpool have a corner. And here comes Peter Crouch. Farewell John Arne Riise.
- 81'
Chelsea are probing around the park in search of an opening which they are unable to find.
- 78'
Cole of the Joe raises his hand pleadingly in search of a corner. Rob Stlyes laughs inwardly, mutters 'fools' to himself and walks away from the situation.
- 75'
Joe Cole is entering the fray, Wright-Phillips will be leaving it.
- 74'
Riise exhibits mock amazement at something I admittedly did not see.
- 72'
Terry is now booked for moaning to the referee. In fact, half the Chelsea players hunted the referee down and cornered him like a pack of complaining dogs.
- 71'
Drogba sarcastically applauds Rob Styles decision to award Liverpool a free-kick. Of course, he could have meant his appreciation. Unlikely though.
- 69'
Alonso and Lampard had a little tete a tete there. There is bad blood between those two after Lampard broke the Spaniard's ankle a couple of years back.
- 68'
Pennant has been taken off and replaced with Ryan Babel.
- 67'
Pennant does well to stretch to reach Gerrard's cross field pass. His cut back to Riise is exquisite but the Norwegian's shot has power and pace but no accuracy.
- 65'
Gerrard fashions himelf a shooting opportunity when he shimmies around Ashley Cole. Malouda appeared to clip his heels as he prepared to shoot and Gerrard is unable to trouble Cech with his effort.
- 64'
Jamie Carragher has been booked for protesting too loudly about the penalty decision. Harsh.
- 61'
GOAL: Lampard dispatches the ball with typical elan. Chelsea are back in the game - they are fortunate to have been given that chance. A poor refereeing decision from Rob Styles.
- 60'
Penalty to Chelsea. Malouda clashes with Danny Agger and Liverpool are harshly punished. The Frenchman seemed to run in to Agger.
- 59'
Pennant beats Cole and then crosses towards Alonso on the edge of the area. The midfielder's shot is poor and he is not having the best of game's today.
- 58'
Cole is quite rightly booked for leaving out his leg and tripping Torres.
