Notes

  • - Chelsea's first loss at home since 21st of February 2004, an 86 game unbeaten run!

    - The Premier League's "Dubious Goals Panel" decided that the deflection of Alonso's shot was sufficient for the goal to be shown as an own-goal by Chelsea defender Bosingwa. However Liverpool Football Club's stance is that Alonso's goal remains with the Liverpool player.
