Liverpool continue title hunt

Liverpool have managed to gain some ground on log leaders Manchester United in the English Premier League.

The Red's got a 2-0 win against Chelsea in a game that was riddled with inconsistent decisions from referee Mike Riley.

The biggest incident involving Frank Lampard being sent off for a lunge on Xabi Alonso. With the Blues a man down Liverpool got all their men behind the ball.


Chelsea eventually cracked under the Red's pressure when Fernando Torres ended his goal drought since October as he headed the ball into the net in the 89th minute.

More drama in the refereeing department came when Yossi Benayoun was gouged in the back by Jose Bosingwa and the line-mans failed to action.

However Torres stole back the spotlight when he scored the winner late into stoppage time.

The victory was Liverpool's first at home since their boxing day win against Bolton. The result leaves them f! our points behind United who have a game in hand.
