Capital One Cup: Liverpool held to 1-1 draw in semi-final first leg by Chelsea despite dominating at Anfield

Raheem Sterling celebrates his superb second-half goal

Raheem Sterling’s superb second-half goal means Liverpool go into their Capital One Cup semi-final second leg with Chelsea with the scores level at 1-1, despite dominating at Anfield.

Chelsea took the lead on 18 minutes after Emre Can brought down Eden Hazard in the area, before the Belgian dusted himself off to slot the penalty past compatriot Simon Mignolet.

Sterling equalised on the hour with a superb run and finish, slotting past Thibaut Courtois from just inside the area after shrugging off Nemanja Matic.

Steven Gerrard hit the post and Adam Lallana forced a fine save from Courtois as Liverpool desperately searched for a winner to take a lead to Stamford Bridge for the second leg, but the hosts had to settle for a draw.
