Chelsea defended deep and kept the Liverpool Fab 3 from wreaking havoc like they’re so used to doing. Liverpool couldn’t control the game in the midfield and often relinquished possession through their sloppiness. At the end of the day, Chelsea were the better team and it was only fair that they came away with all 3 points. The race for the top 4 spots has become intense now as Liverpool, who have played a game extra, have 72 points and are just 3 points ahead of Chelsea....

The Blues looked more dynamic than their counter-parts from the get-go and dominated proceedings for the majority of the first half. However, Maurizio Sarri’s men were forced to wait until the 57th minute to edge themselves ahead through Pedro, who scored after cutting inside from the flank and finishing expertly between Hugo Lloris’ legs.

Cardiff, June 5 (IANS): India would look to putting behind them all the unsavoury controversies around their cricket administration when they take on South Africa in the opening match of the Champions Trophy at the Sophia Gardens here Thursday.
