LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool won 3-1 at relegation-threatened Bolton Wanderers on Sunday to move back into fourth place in the Premier League, at least until Everton face Portsmouth later in the day (4:00 p.m.).

Liverpool, who are level on 50 points with fifth-placed Everton, went ahead when Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen conceded a bizarre own goal after 12 minutes.

Diving to his right to stop a Steven Gerrard shot that appeared to be going wide, the ball took a backspin off the keeper's body and bounced back into the net.

Liverpool increased their lead after an hour when Ryan Babel scored with a low shot after Bolton failed to clear a Dirk Kuyt effort that bounced back off a post.

Brazilian Fabio Aurelio scored his first goal for Liverpool on his 46th appearance for them with a well-controlled left-foot volley after 75 minutes.

Tamir Cohen, whose father Avi played for Liverpool from 1979-81, headed a consolation for Bolton in the closing minutes but the home side were totally outplayed as they went down to a third successive league defeat.

Bolton stay 17th, one place above the relegation zone with 25 points from 28 matches, the same as Reading, who have an inferior goal difference.
