Chelsea 3 - 2 Liverpool (4 - 3)

CHELSEA have beaten Liverpool 3-2 at Stamford Bridge for a 4-3 aggregate victory. Extra-time goals from Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba sent Chelsea into a Champions League final showdown against Manchester United in Moscow next month. Lampard, playing for the first time since the death of his mother last week, coolly slotted home a 98th-minute penalty and Drogba, who had opened the scoring in the first half, sent Chelsea to the final with a timely second.

The extra period fizzled with controversy - sparked when an Essien drive from 22 yards out flew into the net, only to be ruled out because four Chelsea players stood offside. The Blues' protests that they were not interfering were muted seconds later, though, as Sami Hyypia felled Ballack and Lampard dispatched the resultant penalty brilliantly.The midfielder, whose mother passed away last week, celebrated in emotional fashion and seven minutes later Chelsea went two goals clear when Drogba swept home Anelka's pass from six yards.

It was a nice match for both team. Chelsea would have scored more goals tapi si Drogba cuai sangat. Liverpool will never win at the Stamford Bridge, however they have break the curse from getting a goal in Stamford Bridge and it was their first goal after nine matches (since 2004) at Stamford Bridge. Bravo Liverpool for breaking the curse and its Chelsea's payback time to you guys. I guess you guys will have to walk alone now to Anfield huh, too bad :)

To the Devils, see you guys at Moscow this 21st May 2008... God bless CHELSEA... !!!
