Chelsea 0 Liverpool 1
Chelsea's hopes that 50 million pound record signing Fernando Torres would become an instant hero lasted only 66 minutes.He was substituted at Stamford Bridge and could only watch as his former club Liverpool scored a famous 1-0 victory.
A goal from Raul Meireles after 69 minutes gave Kenny Dalglish's side a stunning and deserved victory leaving Liverpool fans to sing 'you should have stayed at a big club' as Torres looked on from the bench.
Earlier Torres had been given a rousing reception by Chelsea fans and booed by the visitors after moving to London from Anfield in a shock transfer deadline day deal.
But the Spaniard looked out of sorts and out of form as he barely touched the ball all match, wasting two good chances before being hauled off in favour of Salomon Kalou.
By that time Meireles had won the game for resurgent Liverpool, firing home a Steven Gerrard cross to seal a result that takes Liverpool up to sixth and leaves Chelsea hanging onto fourth, tied on points with Spurs, and now 10 points adrift of the leaders.
