Brendan Rodgers: 'Liverpool lacked quality against Chelsea'

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that a lack of finishing cost his side during their 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The Reds saw their hopes of a top-four finish all but ended at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as they shared the spoils with the newly-crowned Premier League champions.

John Terry gave the hosts an early lead before Steven Gerrard got the Merseysiders level towards the end of the first half.

"I think we got off to an awful start. A disappointing goal from our perspective. We got ourselves back into the game, a good header from Stevie was well worked and I thought in the second half we were outstanding, we just lacked that bit of quality in the final third," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

Liverpool play their final home game of the campaign on Saturday when they welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield.
