The blues have done it once more, though not with an aplomb this time. It was not an entertaining game to watch, not at all a display of sublime, free-flowing football. Nevertheless, Chelsea deserve a hand here. Liverpool as per their playing style didn't let Chelsea to get their moves going, but they themselves were not able to capitalise on very few set-peices chance that came their way. So, it was a very disciplined performance from Jose's side, not giving away easy free kicks and corners, hence preventing the Liverpool threat.
Drogba was impressive once more, setting up Joe Cole for the only goal of the match. He was involved in another good chance(this time) with Lampard, a ferocious shot from the later(half-volley, on the run, too good!!!) but keeper Reina was up to the job.
I'd say still an open contest this one, only one home goal advantage, if Liverpool gets basics right next time, they can turn it to their advantage.
