Reds leave Chelsea blue

Chelsea 0 Liverpool 1

In a measure of revenge for their defeat last season at Stamford Bridge, which took Champions League football away from Anfield, Liverpool secured a hard-earned victory to revive their own fortunes.

It could have been worse for Chelsea. Everton's equaliser against Arsenal at least ensured that the Gunners are still just four points ahead of Claudio Ranieri's side.
