Liverpool legends recorded a 2-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday in a light-hearted afternoon at Anfield.

The game, organized to raise funds for both club's charity partners featured a host of former legends, including Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia and Dirk Kuyt, while for Chelsea the star names included Gianfranco Zola, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Claude Makelele.



But it was Peter Crouch who stole the show with a second-half brace to ensure the hosts grabbed a very popular victory at Anfield.



Here are the main talking points from the chairy game.



What it's all for

Let's not forget why this game took place in the first place - and the most important element of the entire day: to raise money for a very worthy cause.

Last year the Foundation supported over 127,000 people through its programmes, delivering 18,000 sessions and events across 300 community venues, including 199 schools.

Not all fun and games

Despite this being a charity game, there were a few sliding tackles and cynical fouls - perhaps unsurprisingly with the likes of Jay Spearing, Ramires and Claude Makelele on the pitch.

He was also among those taking this game seriously, perhaps spurred on by a few hundred Chelsea fans who booed him as he swung in a corner half an hour into the game.

He didn't get his goal that the fans craved but there were a few near misses, including a crucial headed clearance from Jose Bosingwa to deny a shooting chance in the box, while Yossi Benayoun couldn't quite tee him up a few yards from goal late on.

Dowie makes history

Saturday's game was another indication of how far women's soccer is progressing as Natasha Dowie became the first women's player to represent the legends' team when she was introduced from the bench after 30 minutes, She spoke beforehand about her pride at playing, how her family were in attendance and it was the biggest crowd she's ever played in front of.

Thankfully, he managed to continue and Dowie put in an impressive display up front.

The Crouch show

After a relatively dull first period, the introduction of Crouch changed the game, with the striker netting two off the bench.
