Three Main Events in less the 24 Hours, Part 2

10:00 a.m.: Liverpool, like I said before, deserved this match. It was a great game, if you were a Liverpool fan. So many chances for the Reds, they really should have more than the two goals from Torres.

And what about Torres? El Nino just unleashed himself in the last 10 minutes. He played well throughout, but if anyone deserved those goals for Liverpool, it was him. He was battling against Terry and Alex the entire game.

Now the Reds are back in striking distance, keeping the heat on Manchester United.

And for me, it's time to watch some Super Bowl pregame coverage. I'll be back for the game starting around 3 p.m. Pacific Time. Until then, enjoy Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick and 18 other hosts on NBC's pregame coverage.

9:52 a.m.: Torres gets his brace. Anfield explodes. Game over. Liverpool now only two points behind Man U.

9:49 a.m.: How is that not a card for Bosingwa? He kicked Benayoun in the back. That is worse than what Lampard did. Unacceptable by the referee. I guess he's just having a bad day.

9:48 a.m.: FINALLY!!! Finally for Liverpool. Finally for Fernando Torres. In the 88th minute, Torres takes an Aurelio cross and angles it in with his head for the first score of the match.

It's Torres' first goal at Anfield in nine months.

For Liverpool, it looks like they will secure the three points after dominating the game. They should win this game and they deserve this game, not because of Lampard's red card, but because the Reds have outplayed Chelsea the entire match.

9:19 a.m.: Here's the game-changer: Frank Lampard has been red-carded Mike Riley and Chelsea is now down to 10 men. Pretty bad call if you ask me.

Lampard going for a the ball against Liverpool's Xabi Alonson and it looks like he clips Alonso. It looked bad in normal speed, but not harsh enough for a red card. It was definitely a fould on Lampard's part, but the official should have kept the card in his pocket.

9:10 a.m.: Another dangerous chance for Liverpool, this time off a corner. Dirk Kuyt takes Gerrard's corner and flicks it across the six-yard box. Too bad no one was in the area or it'd be 1-0.

The pace has definitely slowed. Both teams need to pick it up.

8:49 a.m.: Halftime at Anfield and it's been a pretty good match. Liverpool has had so many chances, including Riera's golden one near the end of the half. There was no need to give (or try to) the ball back to Gerrard. All Riera had to do was slot that ball in and the Reds would be up 1-0.

Chelsea has had most of the possession, but hasn't put together a good series of passes to break down the Liverpool defense. The Blues have no good shots on goal. Liverpool should be happy with the way they've played. Now they just need to find the back of the net.

It's also been a little chippy. I love it.

8:32 a.m.: First real good chance of the match and it goes to Liverpool. Carragher finds Torres in the box, but Alex blocks the shot. Chelsea, on the other hand, has yet to find a good strike.

8:19 a.m.: Not only does Skrtel's name sound like he should be a Pokemon, he looks like one too. Just compare: here's a picture of Skrtel and here's one of Squirtle. They look like long lost cousins.

8:12 a.m.: Xabi Alonso with a stinging shot from distance. Cech could only get fingertips to push it away!

8:06 a.m.: Five minutes in and there has been more action than snow that has fallen at Anfield. So much back and forth, the pace is so frenetic; I wouldn't expect less from a Big Four match.

It also looks like Liverpool is going to give Chelsea hell the entire match. What Chelsea needs to do is stay calm and handle the pummeling attacks of Liverpool.

7:42 a.m.: I failed with the Aussie Open. I couldn't go five sets with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, but they wouldn't either if they got six hours of sleep the night before and woke up 15 hours before their match without resting.

But I digress, it's time for Part 2 of this adventure and that begins with Liverpool hosting Chelsea at Anfield in 15 minutes.

Both teams need the three points in a desperate way. Reigning League champs Manchester United is five points up and has played one less game (after today's match) than the Reds and Blues.

Liverpool needs this a little more I think. They haven't been in top form as of late in the Premiership, drawing its last three matches. A win over superficial rival Chelsea would give them that boost and possibly help them get back in the race for its coveted 19th League title.
