Chelsea win match against Liverpool
Chelsea 2 - Liverpool 1
The visitors were ahead within three minutes as Martin Skrtel tapped in.
But parity was restored when Eden Hazard rifled in from distance.
Chelsea deservedly went ahead in a frenetic match when a Samuel Eto'o shot crept underneath Simon Mignolet but the visitors did have chances to level.
A Mamadou Sakho header struck the crossbar, while Luis Suarez was denied what seemed like two strong penalty appeals with first John Terry and then Eto'o felling the striker.
