A stoppage-time equalizer from substitute Christian Benteke earned Liverpool a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea in the English Premier League on Wednesday. Eden Hazard put Chelsea ahead with a superb solo goal in the 32nd minute, taking possession about 30 meters out and gliding past three Liverpool players before sending a shot into the bottom corner of the net. Liverpool, which faces Sevilla in the Europa League final next week, rallied in the second half of manager Juergen Klopp's 50th match in charge and Hazard's Belgium teammate Benteke headed the equalizer from close range in the second minute of injury time.
