Glen Johnson's late winner means Liverpool go level with Chelsea on 22 points. The game at Stamford bridge was a dull affair. Liverpool went ahead in the first half when Adam capitalized on Mikel's poor touch to set up Maxi Rodriguez.

Chelsea leveled early in the second half thanks to substitute Daniel Sturridge who poked in Malouda's miss hit shot. Villas Boas sent former Liverpool duo Fernando Torres and Raul Meireles late on but it was Glen Johnson who stole the show with a late winner. Johnson latched on to Charlie Adam's pass beat Ashley Cole and calmly slotted in.

Liverpool next face Manchester City in the league before a return to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the league cup.

Chris Gayle 75 of 50 Balls Vs Chennai Super Kings | Video Highlights

2.1, SIX; Parameswaran lands the ball on a good length outside off, Gayle makes room and opens the bat face to send the ball flying over point. 

2.2, no ball, SIX; The bowler delivers further outside off. It unfortunately still remains in Gayle’s swing arc and flies away once again over the point boundary. More misery for the bowler follows when a no ball is called for overstepping.

2.2, FOUR; The free hit delivery is slightly short. It disappears through midwicket but only along the ground.

2.3, FOUR; Parameswaran corrects his length bowling a back of good length delivery outside off. Gayle simply punches it between cover and extra cover. 

2.4, SIX; The bowling is predictable now. With five fielders on the off side circle, Parameswaran pitches the delivery once more outside off. Gayle, equally predictably, hits another maximum, clearing the mid-off boundary by a distance this time.

2.5, SIX; Gayle goes down the ground over the bowlers head, and the sight screen for a massive 91-metre blow.

2.6, FOUR; The Jamaican makes room for another big hit but only gets an inside edge. In an over where nothing has gone right for Parameswaran, the edge runs past fine leg for four runs.
