STEVEN GERRARD can hardly believe it as his high-velocity volley is pushed around a post by diving Chelsea keeper Petr Cech.
The sizzling save ensured the Blues kept a clean sheet for next Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final return at Anfield.
But only the Czech keeper will know how he managed to stop the Liverpool skipper’s thunderbolt from outside the penalty area.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho admitted: “Petr Cech made an unbelievable save from a Steven Gerrard shot — but they only had one chance.”
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists his side will turn around the deficit.
He said: “I feel our supporters are very important. We have beaten Chelsea 2-0 in January at Anfield and that sends out an important message about what we are capable of.
“They were playing on the counter attack but we had more control of the game in the second half.
“We know Chelsea are really good on the counter and we will have to be careful about that in the second leg.”
