Chelsea FC traveled to Anfield to take on Liverpool, and shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. The Blues lead for most of the game, being put ahead by a magnificent goal from Eden Hazard. Just when it looked like the Blues would get one over on the Reds, Christian Benteke took advantage of a mistake by Asmir Begovic and leveled the scoring. The game lacked the intensity of recent Chelsea v Liverpool clashes, but was still a pretty entertaining affair. Here are five talking points from today’s match.
