Liverpool 0 - 2 Chelsea
Steve Gerrard's backpass gifted the opener to Chelsea
Chelsea took a giant step towards the Premier League title with a comfortable win over Liverpool at Anfield.
The visitors made a nervy start, but were gifted a 33rd-minute opener by Steven Gerrard.
The Liverpool captain's backpass was intercepted by Didier Drogba, who rounded Pepe Reina before slotting in.
Nicolas Anelka set up Frank Lampard to make it 2-0 after 54 minutes, and a toothless Liverpool side never threatened a comeback.
