Joe Cole slid in a 29^th minute Drogba cross which eventually settled the first leg of Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League semi final clash with Liverpool at home at Stamford Bridge. The score remained unchanged due to some great saves from both keepers. Liverpool Pepe Reina denied Lampard twice while Peter Cech made a stunning save from a long range trademark Gerrard volley.

With the second leg at Anfield the tie is still wide open. Chelsea will move into the second leg with a 1-0 lead and looking for an all important away goal meaning Liverpool would have to win by 2 goals to progress to the UEFA Champions League final. Liverpool’s attacking play penned back the home team for long periods in the match. However, as we have come to expect from Chelsea this season they maintained a well organized and disciplined defence.

Liverpool will be disappointed with the result but at the same time glad the match finished only 1-0 down. Chelsea will prance and dance and Mourinho came in for his customary moan but they still have a long way to go to progress.
