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.The Blues keeper then denied Da Costa, tipping the American midfielder's 79th-minute shot over the bar.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.But despite the late pressure Liverpool, managed by former Chelsea boss Matt Beard, could not force an equaliser. Third-placed Bristol Academy, who have played a game fewer than both Chelsea and Liverpool, are the only remaining team with a 100% record. 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.It meant that the Reds lost their 100% record as well as their place at the top of the table to Emma Hayes's side.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.
