 Chelsea had their own grievances later in the first half when Martin Skrtel clearly tripped Costa inside the penalty area and the referee continued the recent run of significant errors by giving the #Liverpool defender the benefit of the doubt. Skrtel angrily let Costa know what he thought about him but the truth is a penalty should have been awarded.

 Liverpool had continued where they left off in the first leg, passing the ball crisply and effectively and reminding us in brief passages of the slick, adventurous football they played last season. What they did not have was someone with Luis #Suárez’s ability to finish off one of their chances when they were finding the same sort of gaps that Bradford had exploited at the weekend.
