Adam: That was for you Brad
Charlie Adam dedicated Liverpool's late triumph over Chelsea to goalkeeper Brad Jones following the news that his son Luca had passed away on the eve of the Stamford Bridge clash.
The Reds snatched a 2-1 victory courtesy of Glen Johnson's sublime solo effort and the Scot was quick to send a personal message to his teammate following his tragic loss.
Adam said: "I'd like to dedicate the win to Brad Jones who had a difficult week losing his son.
"That one was for you big man and we are all thinking about you."
It had looked like Liverpool would have to settle for a point in the capital after substitute Daniel Sturridge had cancelled out Maxi Rodriguez's opener.
However, Adam felt the Reds were worthy victors and was pleased with his role in the Argentine's 33rd minute strike.
He said: "It's one of these things when we are told to press. Fortunately I got it and Maxi did well to finish it. We then did well to bounce back after conceding early in the second half.

"It's not a scalp because we are two big clubs chasing each other. We are in a good position and know it could be better if we'd got other results. But we are happy with the win."
He added: "It was difficult because they are a good side. They have top players but we've got good players ourselves and I thought we were terrific today. It was a good way to bounce back after a difficult couple of weeks. The result at home to Swansea was hard to take but you have to do that when you come to places like this if you want to do well."
Meanwhile, goal-hero Johnson was delighted to net the winner against his old club.
Johnson said: "I like to get forward and was really grateful to score the goal today. It was fantastic. Obviously I've had a few difficult months but I've been feeling better game by game and I finally feel like I'm getting back to full fitness. I feel good.
"We knew we dominated the first half but knew that they would maybe get a kick up the backside at half-time and we expected the reaction. Once they got into that gear they are difficult to stop but the lads showed good character to bounce back and get the late goal."
