Liverpool beat home side Chelsea with a late goal by defender Glen Johnson in the 87th minute. Although Chelsea played well in the second half and equalised through Daniel Sturridge, they lacked pace and did not pass the ball to Juan Mata in the first half which cost them. Liverpool deserved to scored more than one in the first half and snatched all three points at the death.
This means that Liverpool are back in 6th place with 22 points only on goal difference from Arsenal in 7th and Chelsea failed to captalize on Newcastle 3-1 loss against City yesterday.
