Chelsea v Liverpool

What a crying shame! After 92 minutes of glorious Premier League football, Wigan lost concentration and let Hernan Crespo unleash a massive projectile into the top corner of the net. The last two matches (Arsenal v Newcastle and this one) showed some similarities. The underdog teams knew what they were up against, and began with…

Their goalkeeper was very good. Without Wayne Rooney, there was no finishing, with many good passes ending up as missed…
