Terry scores in comeback but is then stretched out after collision with Suarez.

Chelsea  1  Liverpool  1

Chelsea Captain John Terry scored on his return from a four -match ban but was 15 minutes later cut short by a nasty-looking injury in the first half against Liverpool.

Terry was carried off on a stretcher while holding his face and screaming in agony after Liverpool striker Luis Suarez slipped and landed awkwardly on the 31-year-old's knee.

The Chelsea captain powered home a header to put his side a goal up at Stamford Bridge.  Juan Mata found the unmarked former England international in the box from a corner, who obliged by glancing his effort past a stranded Brad Jones.

His subsequent injury was clearly an accident and no blame could be attributed to Suarez. The Uruguayan bore down Terry with the ball at his feet while been pursued by Ramires.

Terry stood square on a Suarez - who slipped, or was perhaps nudged from behind by Ramires - fell, landing with all his weight on the centre back's outstretched right leg.

After five minutes of on-pitch treatment, Terry was carried off and straight down the tunnel past manager Roberto Di Matteo, who attemped to console him.

Liverpool Suarez scored the equalizer in the 73rd minute.
