At a glance
This is just the third time Chelsea have dropped points in the Women's Super League this season
Liverpool had lost six of their first seven league games before their match with the champions
Alyssa Thompson put Chelsea in front with a brilliant curling finish in the ninth minute
Liverpool levelled after 33 minutes when Beata Olsson finished off counter-attack
A frustrated Chelsea dropped points in the Women's Super League title race as they were held by winless Liverpool at St Helens Stadium.
The champions missed a chance to go within one point of leaders Manchester City having taken the lead through Alyssa Thompson who cut inside on to her right foot and curled in a brilliant finish in the ninth minute.
But Liverpool levelled in the 33rd minute when Lily Woodham played in Beata Olsson, who outpaced Millie Bright, covered half of the pitch and converted her one-on-one finish.
In the second half, Chelsea's Aggie Beever-Jones had a goal disallowed for offside after rounding goalkeeper Faye Kirby, and the striker also saw an effort drop just wide a few minutes later.
By avoiding defeat Chelsea set a new WSL record of 34 unbeaten matches, but the mood at full-time was far from jubilant.
Chelsea stay second, three points off the top, while Liverpool, despite their fine result, drop to the bottom of the WSL following West Ham's big win over Everton.
