But the Blues hit back with Swedish striker Sofia Jakobsson equalising with her fifth goal in six appearances midway through the first half.The home side were on the back foot, but they forced their way into contention and in the 27th minute drew level through Jakobsson's well-struck 20-yard drive. Four minutes later striker Lillie Billson had two shots in quick succession blocked inside the Chelsea six-yard box.And Aluko netted what proved to be the winner 12 minutes after the interval.The Blues had recovered well from their shaky start and either side of half-time looked the more likely team to find a second goal.It was a fine fightback by Chelsea after Liverpool took the lead when Engen headed in a sixth-minute cross from full-back Corina Schroder.They did so 12 minutes after the interval, Aluko netting a 12-yard shot after the ball had broken loose in a goalmouth scramble for her second goal of the campaign.As the Reds pressed for a second goal, German midfielder Nicole Rolser had a good effort saved by goalkeeper Shannon Lynn.That stung Liverpool into a response and only a good save by Lynn prevented England midfielder Fara Williams from equalising with a long-range effort.Midfielder Amanda Da Costa then sent a 15th-minute shot wastefully over the Chelsea bar from a good position.
