Alleged Suarez bite overshadows late equaliser against Chelsea

The Liverpool striker, supposedly a favourite for the PFA Player of the Year award according to his manager, Brendan Rodgers, bit the Chelsea defender on the bicep as the pair challenged for the ball in front of the Kop on 66 minutes.Cheap logo engraved luggagetag at wholesale bulk prices.

Another lengthy suspension surely awaits the Uruguay international who, almost inevitably when he should have been off the pitch, headed Daniel Sturridge's cross beyond Petr Cech with the final touch of a fractious game to dent Chelsea's hopes of reclaiming third spot.

'RIP Anne You'll Never Walk Alone' read the banner along the front of the Kop.

Amid the shows of respect were predictable Kop jeers for Fernando Torres whenever the former Liverpool striker touched the ball or left his mark on their central defence.

Torres received a yellow card and, later on, a little retribution on the back of his calf.

Liverpool, despite a promising start, appeared preoccupied with the Bentez sideshow in the first half and their distribution, movement and solidity paled in comparison with that from Chelsea. The midfield contest was not worthy of the name as Ramires and Mikel John Obi intercepted and protected relentlessly while Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard bypassed Liverpool with ease. Carelessness in possession, with Jordan Henderson a frequent culprit, increased Anfield's irritation.

It was a surprise Chelsea led by only one set-piece goal by the interval. Oscar sent a glancing header beyond Pepe Reina's left hand from Mata's corner having escaped the attentions of both Agger, his initial marker, and Carragher, the defender covering the edge of the six-yard box. Reina almost compounded Liverpool's defensive brittleness when he dropped a David Luiz free-kick behind him, only to gather in front of the line.

Liverpool threatened only sporadically, Surez forcing a routine save from Cech at the near post, and it was only after Sturridge replaced the anonymous Philippe Coutinho at the interval that Rodgers' team hauled themselves back into contention.

Sturridge was a man on a mission, creating a glorious chance for Steven Gerrard seconds after his introduction that Cech saved with his leg and then hitting the post with a venomous drive moments later. His inevitable goal arrived seven minutes after his introduction when he volleyed home from close range following a flowing Liverpool move involving Carragher, Stewart Downing and finally a wonderful chip over the Chelsea defence from Surez.

The Uruguay international's afternoon, however, soon nose-dived. Three minutes later Surez handled Mata's corner and denied Torres a header at the back post.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell bottegawallet to communities that don't have access to electricity. The referee, Kevin Friend, had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and Hazard sent Reina the wrong way following a lengthy delay due to the usual arguments.

Not surprisingly, the 2008 shares around two thirds of its mechanical underpinnings with the 208 hatch. But its all under the skin, as the baby crossover has a completely unique body over a chassis that has its wheelbase stretched by 200 millimetres, its ground clearance increased by 25mm and its overall height increased by 96mm.

That hasnt translated into the cabin having a Tardis-like ability. The five-seater still feels like a small car inside, but theres additional - if not ample - headroom and rear-seat legroom that will accommodate most family needs. There is more luggage capacity than there is in the 208 though, with 422 litres that increases to 1400L when the split-fold rear seats are folded flat.

The overall layout of the dashboard has been translated well from the 208, with its high-mounted instrument pod and integrated sat-nav/audio screen perched atop the centre console with plenty of cubby holes to store small items.

Despite the larger overall dimensions though, Peugeot has invested heavily in decreasing the weight of its small-car platform with the 1.2-litre tipping the scales at a featherweight 1045 kilograms. The heaviest model, the turbo diesel, is just 1170kg, which Peugeot claims is more than 170kg lighter than the equivalent 207 SW (station wagon) that it essentially replaces.

Yet it doesnt feel like a typical small car, with a pleasant degree of solidity in its build quality, just enough flair in its design and a reasonable list of features.

But its the way that it drives that will potentially set the car apart from its rivals. While most of the roads we tested it on were fairly well maintained and smooth (as it is typical in Europe), there was enough rough stuff - including cobblestoned village streets - to suggest the 2008 rekindles that traditional French trait of blending exceptional levels of ride comfort with above average handling prowess.

Not that it will ever likely to be driven like a hot hatch, but the 2008s sharp, if lifeless, steering and excellent body control combine to make it almost as much fun on mountain roads as the 208 GTi that we drove just a week earlier. That's no indictment on the GTi, just an indication of just how competent Peugeots 200-series chassis is. It's quite a feat to be able to recreate the GTi feel in a vehicle that is heavier and taller with softer suspension settings and multi-purpose tyres.

As for the engines, the turbo diesel is the pick of the bunch with its wider spread of torque making it a more relaxed drive. Add into the equation that is also the most economical - sipping just 4.0L/100km - and whatever premium it will attract over the petrol pairing will be offset at the pump each week.

Not that either the 1.2- or 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated engines could be considered inefficient (recording 4.9L/100km and 5.9L/100km respectively), but both need to be worked harder in everyday driving situations; the three-cylinder in particular. And, although there wasnt an automatic version of the 1.6-litre available to test on the drive program, the four-speed is likely to a busy unit and constantly hunting for the right ratio.

While Peugeot doesnt pretend the front-drive 2008 is designed to provide a legitimate alternative to four-wheel drives, some variants can be optioned with the companys Grip Control function, which is essentially a multi-mode ESP system that allows for increased wheel-spin in muddy conditions so it can maintain forward momentum. On a small, slippery course it proved its worth; the added ground clearance making it easy to traverse into a series of boggy holes and the Mud+Snow setting helping it get out without too much histrionics.
