Liverpool's Legends side took on their Chelsea counterparts at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, and won it with a late goalIt doesn't quite make up for last weekend's Stamford Bridge disappointment, but Liverpool Legends struck late to beat their Chelsea equivalents in Saturday's charity clash.Ryan Babel, who had started the game only to be taken off at half-time, re-emerged from the bench to win it with the only goal of the game just two minutes from the end, leaving a star-studded Chelsea side featuring the likes of John Terry, Petr Cech, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard disappointed.The match, which was played in aid of the Chelsea Foundation - which you can donate to here - featured several blasts from Liverpool's past, and here's how they got on.READ MORE: Liverpool sent January message over Marc Guehi transfer amid Virgil van Dijk fearsREAD MORE: Ibrahima Konate released from France squad as Liverpool injury concerns continuePepe ReinaMaking his Legends debut, it looked as though he was going to stage a repeat of his Stamford Bridge red card in February 2006 when he raced out of his goal towards the touchline in the first half.Luckily this time around there was no Eidur Gudjohnsen to challenge or Arjen Robben to raise a hand to ("I must go to the hospital to see him," said a sarcastic Rafa Benitez), and instead he just settled for a cuddle with Gary Cahill. Good save from Diego Costa, and a clean sheet in his 55 minutes on the pitch.Martin KellyOne of the more sprightly on the Liverpool side, Kelly - who scored his only Reds goal in a League Cup tie at Stamford Bridge in 2011 - was the first to enjoy a battle with Eden Hazard, and came close to scoring at the start of the second half.Ragnar KlavanAssured at the back, so much so that we were treated to slow, yet purposeful meanders into midfield on more than one occasion.
Where's Jordan Henderson when you need him?Gregory VignalStarted at left-back, where he use to play for the Reds, before moving into midfield in the second half and showing some lovely touches. One of the fitter players in the side despite it being over 20 years since he left Liverpool (we're all so old) before a late injury.Igor BiscanNever the quickest in his Anfield days, the two decades since haven't done much for the 47-year-old's pace, but he did make a couple of forays into attack and almost got on the end of cross from Yossi Benayoun.
Also bounded into John Terry at one point, which it looked he enjoyed.Jay SpearingThis was a bit different from the youth team games he occasionally plays in, and there were a couple of fouls on Hazard and John Obi Mikel that you can only hope he's not teaching the young Reds.Fabio AurelioSuch a lovely technical player back in his heyday, you could still see elements of that here, most notably with one raking ball from left to right that sent Jermaine Pennant away. That almost sounds like proper analysis doesn't it?Yossi BenayounA good run in the first half which ended with a shot at Petr Cech, Benayoun - formerly of Chelsea as well - was clearly one of the Reds' better players before his half-time departure and then latter reintroduction, after which he played a key part in the visitors winning the game.Ryan BabelAnother who left the field at half-time only to return later on to win it, the 38-year-old Babel was one of the fitter players on the Reds side and he always carried a threat when cutting inside onto his right foot from the left, as he did excellently for the goal.Florent Sinama-PongolleA quiet first 45 minutes for the Frenchman before he was taken off at half-time.
