Liverpool ran out 2-0 winners over Chelsea in the LFC Foundation’s annual Legends match at Anfield on Saturday thanks to two goals from Peter Crouch.

Celebrating his first strike by dusting off his trademark robot celebration at Anfield for the first time, a youthful crowd was delighted.

Meanwhile, seeing how much it meant to a visibly thrilled Crouch to be both back at Anfield and scoring in front of the Kop only added to the occasion on a day to remember for all present.

However, it was not all good will, even in the name of charity, as Liverpool and Chelsea locked horns once more.

And it goes without saying that there will be plenty of fume!

Those Gerrard chants

Gerrard could have easily ended up as a Chelsea player back in the noughties if not for a transfer U-turn.

He was fine to continue though so all’s well that ends well!

Alas, there was one player in the first half who was forced off injured though - Jerzy Dudek.

The Pole injured his foot after clipping Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink when clearing the ball upfield.

After receiving treatment, he slowly limped off but was afforded a standing ovation as supporters chanted the popular goalkeeper’s name.

Spearing vs Wise

Jay Spearing was flying into tackles throughout the first half, conceding a couple of free-kicks along the way, before he found himself in Dennis Wise’s bad books.

The 58-year-old Chelsea captain - who actually played against Liverpool for Wimbledon in the 1988 FA Cup final - was unimpressed after the Reds’ 36-year-old Academy player-coach stood on his foot with the follow-through on one late challenge, having already won the ball from Hasselbaink.

Resisting the temptation to lash out at Spearing as he went to shove him off, Wise angrily confronted the referee, pointing an accusatory finger in the direction of the Liverpool midfielder, before heading over to square up to Spearing himself.

Makelele tried to play peace-maker as Wise rejected Spearing’s apologetic hand, twice pointing in the midfielder’s face before walking away after Ragnar Klavan stepped in to intervene.

That’s not something many of his Chelsea peers have been able to claim over the years!

Cisse fumes at bench

Djibril Cisse was brought on at half-time, but failed to complete the match after seemingly pulling up with a hamstring injury late in the second half after giving up on a long pass from Mark Gonzalez.

That was enough for the Liverpool bench to send Dirk Kuyt back on in place of the Frenchman, with no-one inside Anfield surprised by the decision.

Well, except for one man.
