Pro soccer star striker Fernando Torres scored a brace and helped the Reds to gain some vital points in their home match. The Scousers played their match in Liverpool and were willing to defeat the Blues so they played offensively well. Chelsea failed to score a single goal in their encounter which caused them to drop points when they visited North West England. The Blues were defeated at Anfield so they gave Manchester United and Arsenal Football Club opportunities to increase their chances of winning the English Premier League table.
Currently, Liverpool have 15 points but Chelsea have managed to steal the 1st spot of the Barclays Premier League table. It is possible that Liverpool will become one of big contenders to win the UEFA Champions League tournament during season 2011-12.
