Apr. 26 - A first-half goal from Joe Cole gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Liverpool in a tightly-fought first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said 1-0 was a positive result to take to Liverpool next week despite frustration that his side could not score more goals in their Champions League semi-final first leg.

Mourinho and Benitez agreed the Anfield crowd would make a difference but the Liverpool manager would not be drawn on which side had the advantage.
