Bitter rivals, Liverpool and Chelsea, serve up a classic

Capital Cup Semi-Final

Raheem Sterling’s wonder strike in the end cancelled out Eden Hazard’s first half penalty but the effort and energy that both sides displayed was the major talking point, as was the display of Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois, who kept the scores level with several late saves.
