LONDON — Liverpool ended Chelsea's 86-game home win streak with a 1-0 victory Sunday that gave it a three-point lead atop the Premier League standings.

Midfielder Xabi Alonso scored in the 10th minute with a shot that was deflected by Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa. It was the first goal Chelsea has conceded in seven league and cup matches.

Chelsea last lost at home in February 2004 to Arsenal.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech had been diving to his right to block Alonso's shot until Bosingwa diverted the ball away from Cech and into the net.

Alonso nearly doubled the lead in the 62nd minute with a free kick that struck the base of the goal post with Cech well beaten.
