Carling Cup Match Report: Chelsea 0 vs 2 http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 – Part 2
The second half kicked off in a much more cautious manner, as both the teams looked to try and catch their opponents off guard, once they slipped up, as opposed to taking the game to the other.
Chelsea were awarded a free kick in the 55th minute and Lampard stepped up to take the shot. The ball was whipped in by the midfielder from some twenty five yards out and came off the post. Luiz dove head first to knock in the rebound, but his
effort was denied by a defender, who kept the ball off the line with a last minute interception.
In the 58th minute, Bellmay received a pass from Henderson and the forward went on to pick out Maxi Rodriguez. The Argentine went on to score against Chelsea once again, as he made it two goals for him against the Blues in just as many appearances
against them this season.
However, things soon went from bad to worse for Chelsea as in the 63rd minute, Bellamy whipped in a brilliant pass towards Kelly, who went on to score his first ever goal in a Liverpool jersey.
With all the pressure on the Blues, they surged forward in the 73rd minute via Anelka, as they looked to get something out of the game. Reina charged forward and took the striker out with a brilliant tackle. Carragher then followed up the challenge
and prevented Anelka from creating anything.
Soon after the referee signalled the end of the match, which saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 lose out to Liverpool once again, who now seem destined to go far in the Carling Cup, as they are now in the semi finals of the tournament.
