    Rickie Lambert goes in the book now for sliding into Thibaut Courtois off the pitch as the ball went dead. Is that worth a booking?

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:28 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Lovely move! Loic Remy plays in Cesc Fabregas with a deft backheeled volley, Fabregas breaks the lines to run in on goal but the angle is acute. He wants support in the middle but there is none, and he has to shoot. Lashes it in hard and Simon Mignolet pushes it clear.

    Loic Remy is another striker who hasn't had the most productive of years but he does well here, moving out to the left channel before nutmegging Martin Skrtel and going down. The defender is booked.

    Steven Gerrard floats a lovely ball onto the instep of Rickie Lambert but the striker is offside. Would Southampton fans take Lambert back? His Liverpool year hasn't worked out.

    The game is in a lull.

    Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini, Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge have eight goals between them in the league. John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Gary Cahill share 10. That's a stat which has not escaped former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamman on Twitter., external

    Adam Lallana joins Cesc Fabregas in the book, a real attacker's challenge on Branislav Ivanovic.

    "I have to say I'm quite impressed with the attitude of the Liverpool players considering they are a goal down. They've not gone into their shells, They're not hiding. Raheem Sterling is looking to get on the ball at every opportunity."

    I've still not seen a conclusive replay of the red/yellow card confusion in the opening 30 seconds. Hopefully at half-time I'll get a good view of what went on.

    Cesc Fabregas was booked though and he now pulls over Raheem Sterling again. What's rattled his cage?

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek has 100% passing accuracy in his first 15 minutes. You can't ask for more than that on your first start.

  11. CLOSE!published at 16:14 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Glen Johnson pops up on the left wing, he drives past Branislav Ivanovic and puts a low cross shot into the side-netting. Liverpool rallying now, Philippe Coutinho picking the ball up on the left of the penalty area and hitting in a strike which Thibaut Courtois plucks out of the sky.

  12. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Chris Leonard: Love how Liverpool and Spurs have thrown in the towel in a desperate attempt to avoid the Europa League.

  13. Postpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Cesc Fabregas wriggles away from a challenge and sees his shot well blocked. Chelsea have had 54.7% of the play in the first 10 minutes.

  14. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Richard: It's not often I cheer a #CFC goal but killing off #LFC's Champions League challenge is worth it.

    Bob: How is that not a red card for Fabregas!! Chelsea as usual get away with murder. Filthy play.

    Ian Foster: You'd think after 3 years in Charge Rodgers would realise the way he sets his team up to defend corners doesn't work.

    John Terry is now the highest-scoring defender in Premier League history, with 39. He overtakes David Unsworth with that header. Chelsea's procession continues. Philippe Coutinho has Liverpool's first strike on goal but it is deflected wide.

    "Nothing particularly complicated about that. John Terry wanted it more, simple as that. Rickie Lambert didn't make a challenge, he just stood there."

    He's played every minute of every game in the Premier League and John Terry rises to head home Chelsea's opener! He gets well above Rickie Lambert and powers a header down and into the net. Woeful marking from Liverpool.

    "I certainly saw a yellow card shown to Fabregas. I think he's right to give him a yellow except it could have been and maybe should have been red."

    A baffling start to the game there then. Both sides still have 11 men on the field though. Chelsea win a corner after an attack down the right.
