We now go back to October 2008 and a memorable victory at Stamford Bridge inspired by the midfield maestro Xabi Alonso.

Chelsea had gone into the game against Rafael Benitez's side on the back of an incredible 86-game unbeaten run on home turf.

But they were downed by a decisive strike in the opening 10 minutes, as Alonso's deflected effort found the back of the net.

With Jamie Carragher and Daniel Agger magnificent at the back, Liverpool held on for a deserved three points.
