Chelsea Shushes Scousers

Chelsea took their invincibility to history-rich Anfield and waved their blue flag high in Reds’ territory.

A 2-1 road result will do that for a side.

It’s always something when Chelsea face Liverpool, whether it's a bite of Suárez or the Torres saga.

The spirited but desperate Reds tried everything in their bag of tricks to bring down the arrogant Blues, but it wasn't to be on this day. Chelsea had less possession and lesser passes, but this was one of those times where stats are just stats. Every thrust they threw out there had a purpose, while the same couldn't be said for the Reds.

Diego Costa -- this season's Spanish sensation -- with his cat like reflexes, pounced upon a golden opportunity to continue the Blue’s invincibility streak in the 67th minute:

And that was the match.

The Blues thus remain four points clear of surprising Southampton at the top of the table, while the Reds are now 14 points adrift.
