Chelsea v Liverpool - the minutes that mattered

NINE MINUTES: Sweeping Chelsea attack, Reina point-blank save from Lampard.

23 MINS: Ouch! Mikel goes into a tackle with Alonso and gets caught in a sensitive place...

29 MINS: 1-0! Chelsea break at speed, Drogba feeds Joe Cole and he steers home.

36 MINS: Gerrard powers on to a Kuyt header but gets under the chance and it's over.

45 MINS: Liverpool show more ambition and get bodies forward; Gerrard curls wide.

48 MINS: Arbeloa handball in the box as ball bounces. Lampard leads appeals.

52 MINS: Gerrard left-foot volley from 25 yards, brilliant flying save by Cech.

53 MINS: Drogba removes three bottles from the area, after break in play.

76 MINS: Clumsy play from Mascherano results in first yellow card for trip on Lampard.

80 MINS: Reina to the rescue once more, foiling Lampard again with a brilliant save.

90 MINS: Final whistle! And it's a win for Jose and his merry men. On to Anfield...
