Riise's Mistake

No one ever thought that John Arne Riise would score a dramatic own goal in stoppage time as Chelsea managed to make a 1-1 draw with Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final. In the beginning it was Dirk Kuyt, who thought that he had given his troops a 1-0 first-leg lead to take back to Stamford Bridge, having slotted from close range on 43 minutes at Anfield. His goal came after Frank Lampard dithered in defence and was robbed of possession, allowing Javier Mascherano's mis-hit shot to loop into the path of Kuyt, who kept his cool to beat Petr Cech.
