Not from there, not from there. Philippe Coutinho takes aim from an improbable range and an improbable angle and furnishes the seventh row of the Kop.

Inside the final 10 minutes. Setting up a cliffhanger for the second leg?

Chris Kelly: Great game best Liverpool performance of the season. They have to win this one!

Jon in Watford: Liverpool fans, calm down. Your team are playing at their maximum and at home and they still won't win over the two games. Is funny to see how excited they are getting though.

Steve from Cardiff: Philippe Coutinho is just delicious to watch.

Chelsea need to take the edge out of the game and for the first time all half they do, getting the ball and keeping it. It's been a very substandard second half from the Premier League leaders.

Gary Cahill has had a torrid second half, it's all looked a bit too much for him at the back. Kurt Zouma is waiting ominously in the wings.

And what a hit that is! Adam Lallana cracks one on the bounce after Raheem Sterling had chested it down, caught it like a dream, he's half off celebrating but Thibaut Courtois makes a cracking stop!

"Courtois went to let go of the ball and thought 'this is getting out of my grasp' so he just elbowed it back under his control - outside the penalty area."

Pete Nicholson:, external Coutinho, 22, Sterling, 20, Markovic 20 and Can just turned 21. The future looks bright.

MJ:, external I really don't think Markovic would get into any other Premier League side.

Kaushik Gorai:, external Coutinho and Sterling absolutely destroying the Premier League's best team. Can see the future if kept those two at Anfield.

Thibaut Courtois comes out to challenge Raheem Sterling, his momentum takes him out of the box and he maybe just has a hand still on the ball as he slides out of the area. We are talking millimetres though. No decision and the Belgian is able to clear. One more goal in this one? I reckon so.

Great hit! Jordan Hendsrson drives one in from 22 yards, a fine hit, it's low and fierce and Thibaut Courtois has to push it out. He pushes it a long way out which makes Raheem Sterling's follow-up difficult. He saves that one too.

Chelsea then break for the first time all half, Diego Costa turns Martin Skrtel and then wants a free-kick after Mamadou Sakho's challenge. Nothing given...

Alfie Snow:, external Gerrard's off, time to capitalise! Come on Chelsea!

Mark Beedie:, external Seriously Chelsea - are we going to play in this half or what?

Sam Keep:, external Liverpool are playing the game of their lives here! What a game we are having at Anfield!

Adam Lallana almost links up with Raheem Sterling on the edge of the box, a lively intro from the sub. Do Liverpool need to win tonight to reach Wembley? They're giving it everything now.

Middlesbrough have finally found a way through against Cardiff. Patrick Bamford, who is on loan from Chelsea, converts Adam Reach's cross to give Boro the lead. As it stands, Aitor Karanka's team go second, a point behind Bournemouth, who trail Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road.

No fairytale winner for Steven Gerrard tonight, he's coming off for Adam Lallana. The armband is passed to Jordan Henderson, Gerrard still rueing that shot against the post...

"Brilliant piece of play from Liverpool. The ball came to Gerrard. The touch was heavy with his right foot so he tried to pass it in with his left and it was just off-target."

Philippe Coutinho down the middle, hits it low, hits it true, and Thibaut Courtois pushes it away! The home side have their hands on the pressure gauge and are cranking it up.

Should score! Liverpool should be ahead, and they've been well on top in the last few minutes. The hosts carve Chelsea open down the left, it's cut back to Steven Gerrard, on his left foot. He goes for placement and curls it against the post! Thibaut Courtois was a spectator.

Stepan Benyovszky:, external I hate it when we line up with Mikel. I understand the choice to play an extra defensive player, but he is desperately average.

Deepesh BAJ:, external Chelsea fan here, I'm happy Liverpool scored. Playing like we are at the moment, we should be punished. #wakeup

Ash:, external That break seems to have done wonders for Sterling. Can we send more players to Jamaica please?

I could do with a mid-season break in Jamaica. Can you have a whip-round? Raheem Sterling has looked the man most likely all night for the hosts and his goal tonight was top class. Twenty-five minutes left.

David McQueen:, external Where's ya bus now!?

Abhishek:, external That's the Jamaica trip paid off right there! Come on Reds!

Shohidur Rahman:, external Great goal by Sterling. Chelsea's defence split like the Red Sea there.

I don't expect Chelsea to change tack after that goal, a draw will still do the job for them tonight. They have still only had one shot all night.
