Glen Johnson's return

Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool

Was it Cech or the Dark Knight?
Red Crusader called for heart and soul
King Kenny's men on the ropes
Nerves frayed with Drogba's phantom goal

Mikel trapped, one two with Suarez
Cushioned lay off by Bellamy
Gift to Brad's Luca from Maxi
Sparking a West London frenzy

All focus on the Reds turned Blue
Off the bench to level came Sturridge
Glen the Blue turned Red, at the death
Making honours uneven at the Bridge

*Charlie Adam dedicated Liverpool's late triumph over Chelsea to goalkeeper Brad Jones following the news that his son Luca had passed away on the eve of the Stamford Bridge clash.
