Match Commentary
93' A deserved win for Chelsea who looked the more dangerous over the 90 minutes, despite some good spells from Liverpool. And what a game for Hasselbaink, but will his winner be enough to gain him a starting place? |
93' Roman Ambramovich, the architect of Chelsea's Russian Revolution, applauds his team after they inflict Liverpool's first opening day defeat at home since 1962. |
93' The kick finds Hypia but his header is tame and straight at Cudicini - and it is the final action of the game!! |
