Liverpool dented Chelsea’s Premiership title challenge in impressive style with Andriy Shevchenko coming off the bench once again. (73 minutes)

Dirk Kuyt took advantage of Peter Crouch’s touch to put the skids under injury-hit Chelsea after three minutes.

Jermaine Pennant’s brilliant dipping volley effectively sealed the points for Liverpool after 17 minutes in boss Rafa Benitez’s 100th league game.

Chelsea staged a minor recovery after the break, but Liverpool could have added a third as John Arne Riise struck the bar with a long-range drive.

Now talk of more unrest at Chelsea is hanging in the air and it remains to be seen if there is any transfer activity in the last 10 days of the January window.
