Liverpool vs Chelsea



Liverpool 2, Chelsea 0
Yet even more frustration for Chelsea fans.

"Heading into Christmas when Liverpool were 7 points clear of Manchester United and Chelsea 6, this match looked like a title decider; now both sides are fighting to simply stay in the top 3. The managers have shared kidney stone problems, and the pain of dropped points"

Chelsea's bad news started coming at the 60th min,
when Frank Lampard got sent off for a lunging tackle

"Lampard winning the ball and then caught Xabi Alonso..
..OH ITS A RED CARD! Straight red for Frank Lampard."

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard also attempted a similar tackle
earlier on.
It's just that Kalou evaded that tackle,
so Gerrard was not show any card at all.
Some things that human refereeing can't solve.

But Chelsea were still holding on,
with Mikel and Alex throwing their bodies in front of goal
to protect it,
and also due to the heroics of Petr Cech.

"Well he (Petr Cech) may have his critics this season for the way he has dealt with crosses but in terms of saving shots, he is still magnificent."

But despite all that,


Fernando Torres scores the goal at the 89th min.

Notice how clear this pic is compared to the others?
Its cuz they literally froze on their spots.
Poor Scolari and co.

So all Liverpool needed to do was hold on
and waste time for like 5 mins or so.

So Yossi Benayoun shields the ball
and keeps it away from anyone
at the corner of the field.
He's like, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"

Bosingwa had other ideas.
"Wong Fei Hung family style: Shadowless Kick!!"

And he walks away.
Drogba is like,"Erm...Okay..."
The whole world goes "WTF-mate?!?!"

The referee?

"Huh? Oh. Yea. No foul"

And before Chelsea could do anything else,
a minute later,


Torres scores his and Liverpool's second.
El Nino is back!
