Late, late goal by Owen gives Chelsea the blues

Following a further injury to the Swiss defender, Liverpool have emulated Manchester United's decision to send Rio Ferdinand for a knee operation at the beginning of international fortnight.

Henchoz has struggled with hamstring and groin injuries this season and yesterday limped off in the first half of the 1-0 win over Chelsea, which came thanks to Michael Owen's last-gasp winning goal. Owen's late, late show rescued Liverpool and kept them on the heels of the champions. As the clock ticked towards what looked like a deserved point for Chelsea, it was also beginning to look like Arsenal were going to steal a four-point lead at the top of the Premiership table.
