Liverpool got their Premier League title challenge back on track with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at Anfield. More
90'+2 AND THAT'S IT!!!! All over at Anfield, and a cracking win for Liverpool in the end - with a 2-0 scoreline that ended up flattering the visitors, if anything. Rafa Benitez has earned himself half a shandy tonight, that's for sure... Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you next time.
90'+1 Free kick right on the edge of the box, and Riera hits it well but just curls it too much, and Fulop fists it away.
89' Great run up the right by Babel, and he cuts in, beats two men and hits a shot that is well-placed, but lacking in power. Still, it draws a good save from Fulop.
76' Another change for Sunderland, with Jones - who looks knackered - coming off and Daryl Murphy strolling on.
67 AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THREE!!! Riera, this time, with a brilliant strike that just goes high and right. It would have been just reward for his superb display so far...
65' IT'S TWO FOR LIVERPOOL!!!! BENAYOUN IS THE MAN!!!! A great right-foot shot from Gerrard is too much for Fulop to hold on to, and N'Gog's reverse bicycle kick from the rebounding ball deflected off the keeper in to the path of the winger, who buries the ball in to the net!!!
60' It's plenty of midfield back and forth at the moment... but neither side can make a chance as it goes. And predictably, Cisse comes on to the pitch!
57' Insua charges up the left - and drills the ball across the goal!!! Was it a pass or a shot? Either way it was too far forward for the unmarked duo of Kuyt and N'Gog charging in, and goes off harmlessly.
52' GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! LIVERPOOL HAVE BROKEN THE DEADLOCK!!! A great run by Riera up the left ends in a cross to Gerrard, who heads back towards N'Gog on the edge of the six-yard box - and the Frenchman cooly half-volleys home for his first goal in the Premier League!
46' We're back in action at Anfield, and no half-time subs to report.
45'+1 Both sides go at each other for the last few minutes, but there's nothing doing... and then whistle goes for the end of the half. Liverpool had a great spell in the middle of the half where they were all over their visitors... but Kenwyne Jones earlier blew an incredible chance to put the Black Cats ahead. We'll be back at the start of the second half!
43' Lovely counter-attack from Liverpool looks like it's caught the Black Cats napping - Mascherano picks up the ball and rifles a good-looking shot in that gets the crowd going, but it goes in to the side netting.
31' Chance for Riera as he picks up pass from Kuyt... the winger cuts in, hits a right-foot shot - AND IT'S DEFLECTED - BUT FULOP ADJUSTS TO MAKE A GREAT SAVE!!! SO CLOSE TO A GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL!
20' N'Gog out on the right beats Collins to get a cross in to the box, and it's met with a solid left-foot strike by Riera... only for Ferdinand to chuck himself in front of it at the last minute to block a good chance, and a good move.
15' Good link-up play from Liverpool, with N'Gog getting the ball out to Benayoun on the right and the cross almost finding the boot of the sliding Kuyt. Not quite good enough, but the home side look good and are attacking well now.
13' N'Gog picks up the ball from Alonso - and looks to be through... but the flag is up, the pass from Alonso was just moments too late to bear the offside trap.
4' First half-chance of the match comes for Liverpool, with Mascherano organising a run and Benayoun being dispossessed in the six-yard box... BUT ON THE BREAK KENWYNE JONES IS THROUGH ON HIS OWN!! HE MUST SCORE - BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!! An appalling shot low and left is an easy save for an admittedly well-placed Reina. Unbelievable let-off for Liverpool...
