Chelsea beat title rivals Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

In an engaging and keenly contested game at Stamford Bridge, Martin Skrtel gave Liverpool a third-minute lead, but Chelsea hit back before half-time through Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto'o.

According to sports24, having led the league on Christmas Day, Liverpool will finish the year in fifth place, six points below leaders Arsenal.

The game is also the first meeting between Suarez and Branislav Ivanovic since the Liverpool striker was banned for biting the Chelsea defender last season, the report added.
