Opponent: Chelsea
Score: 2-1
Scorers: Riise (9), Crouch (80) Schevchenko (44)
Report:

Everyone thought Chelsea would walk this because they had been so good last season.  Ha!!  Riise put Liverpool in front, and although Chelsea equalized, Crouchy was there to head in the winner 10 minutes from time.

It was a pretty angry match – Lampard and Ballack were lucky not to get sent off for Chelsea – I guess they don’t like losing ;-) .  Rene had a great game, and Riise did, too, and it’s always nice to beat Chelsea :)
