LIVERPOOL, England -- It was febrile and hostile with accusations and elimination, a loss of temper and a damaging defeat. And then Guus Hiddink brought a little humour to proceedings.
What, he was asked, could he do with the troublesome Diego Costa? Take him to anger-management sessions, perhaps? "There are movies about that, I think. One with Jack Nicholson. Maybe we go and watch it together."
Perhaps "Anger Management" will become essential viewing at Stamford Bridge. In a way, a DVD of this game, showcasing Costa's red card and starring the effective end of Chelsea's sorry season, should be.
