LUIS Suarez akhirnya berhasil menyamakan kedudukan atas gol John Terry untuk Chelsea meski kapten The Blues itu dibayangi cedera lutut.
Terry kembali bermain setelah dilarang berlaga di empat pertandingan lantaran melecehkan pemain QPR Anton Ferdinand.
Awalnya berjalan sesuai rencana mantan bek timnas Inggris memberi peluang Chelsea unggul setelah menit ke-21. Namun upaya itu berantakan setelah Terry jatuh kesakitan sehingga harus diganti sebelum berakhirnya babak pertama.
Bos Chelsea Di Matteo mengaku: "Kami mengontrol permainan dan memiliki peluang mencetak gol kedua tapi itu jadi mengecewakan, skor 1-0 tidaklah aman."
Manajer Liverpool Brendan Rodgers mengatakan: "Datang ke sini adalah tempat yang sangat sulit. Saya kira ini adalah poin penting bagi Liverpool," seperti dikutip The Sun.
Hasil imbang mencegah peluang Chelsea naik ke posisi kedua klasemen karena tiga kali bermain tanpa menang dan harus tertinggal tiga poin di belakang Manchester United.
LUIS Suarez late equaliser ruined John Terry’s comeback for Chelsea — as did a horror knee injury to the Blues skipper.
Terry was making his return from a four-match ban for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand.
And it was all going according to plan as the former England defender powered home a corner to give the Blues the lead after 21 minutes. But things went awry when Terry fell down in agony after a clumsy challenge from Liverpool hotshot Suarez and had to be replaced shortly before the break.
Chelsea boss Di Matteo said: “We controlled the game and had chances for a second goal and that is probably a disappointment, 1-0 is always dangerous.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said: “Coming here is a very difficult place. I thought it was a great point for us.
The draw prevented Chelsea from climbing back into second place as they recorded their third league game without a win to lie three points behind Manchester United.
