Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Chelsea edged closer to the Barclays Premier League title with a crucial victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
An error by Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard handed Didier Drogba a simple opening goal in the first half and Frank Lampard added a second after the half mark break.
The result ensured Chelsea remained in pole position to win their first championship for four years.
With Manchester United a point behind before kick-off and playing later in the day, Carlo Ancelotti's side knew anything less than a win would hand the initiative to their rivals.
And with next week's final weekend seeing United host Stoke City - Chelsea are at home to Wigan Athletic - there was no margin for error.
Chelsea were undoubtedly the better side but the match may have turned out differently had they not been gifted a 33rd-minute lead.
1st Goal
Gerrard failed to notice Drogba when he passed back to Jose Reina and the Ivory Coast international nipped in to round the goalkeeper and tuck the ball home.
2nd Goal
After the Half mark time, it reached the Liverpool six-yard box we were not so wasteful as Lampard doubled the lead with a close-range finish.
This result is certainly a crucial and good one!
This is the full highlights of the match please enjoy =)
