Luis Suarez dealt a huge double blow to Chelsea’s Premier League title hopes after inadvertently ending John Terry’s comeback and snatching a deserved 1-1 draw for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Terry looked set to enjoy a dream return to action after his domestic four-match ban when he powered the European champions ahead from a corner at Stamford Bridge.
But the Blues captain then collided accidentally with Suarez, who went on to equalise for Liverpool and almost steal victory.
The draw prevented Chelsea from climbing back into second place as they recorded their third league game without a win to lie three points behind Manchester United.
The home support may have turned up expecting another Stamford Bridge goalfest, having witnessed 30 in the previous five games.
