Torres forced a superb save from Julio Cesar, while Patrick Vieira was lucky not to concede a penalty for handball.

| Liverpool 22 Spurs 05:57An injury time goal from Fernando Torres has saved Liverpool from defeat and given them a deserved 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Premier League at Anfield on Sunday. It had looked like more...the Reds would slip to their first league defeat of the season when Robbie Keane struck either side of the break to cancel out Andriy Voronin's opener, but Torres rose highest at the far post to head a stoppage time leveller that made Anfield erupt. The game had started well for the Reds when Voronin gave them a 12th minute lead, but they failed to capitalise on chances to increase their lead and Keane's goals put them in trouble before Torres' rescue act. Rafa Benitez made five changes from the side that started against Marseille. Jermaine Pennant was available again after suspension and their were also recalls for Alvaro Arbeloa, John Arne Riise, Javier Mascherano and Andriy Voronin, who started up front with Fernando Torres. less Tags: liverpool torresvoronin rafa Category: Sports Views: 1,196 Comments: 2 Added: Oct 7, 07 By: merseybeat | |

| 22nd Nov Liverpool 00 Fulham 06:22Liverpool endured a frustrating afternoon as they were held to a goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield. The best chance of an even first-half fell to Robbie Keane, but the Republic of Ireland striker shot more...straight at keeper Mark Schwarzer from eight yards.
Fulham were not just content to soak up pressure and Andrew Johnson and Jimmy Bullard both tested Pepe Reina.
Liverpool dominated the second half but failed to capitalise and remain second behind Chelsea in the table.
If Rafael Benitez's side harbour serious ambitions of challenging for the Premier League title this season, however, then they will need to perform better than they did against the Cottagers.
Before Saturday's encounter the visitors had collected just one point on their travels but they turned in a disciplined and confident performance and for the first half at least, looked capable of adding three more to that total. less Tags: liverpool fc anfield keane torres kuyt rafa Category: Sports Views: 83 Comments: 0 Added: Nov 23, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| 15th Novemeber Bolton 02 Liverpool Kuyt Gerrard 09:47Liverpool's Premier League title challenge gathered further momentum with an impressive victory at Bolton. Dirk Kuyt brilliantly headed the visitors in front from Fabio Aurelio's cross after 28 minutes. more...
Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard both missed open goals before captain Gerrard headed in substitute Fernando Torres' cross with 18 minutes left.
Bolton's Gary Cahill had a header ruled out for a foul and Ricardo Gardner missed two good opportunities.
The win ensured Liverpool maintained the pressure on their rivals as they seek their first title since 1990.
Bolton were outplayed for long stretches, but mounted a spirited effort after the break, only for any hope of a comeback to be snuffed out by Gerrard's close range header.
Liverpool kept Torres on the bench as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury but he emerged for the last 30 minutes to great effect.
All the other big guns were restored after a weakened side lost in the Carling Cup at Spurs in midweek. less Tags: liverpool kuyt gerrard rafa Category: Sports Views: 145 Comments: 0 Added: Nov 15, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| 8th Nov Liverpool 30 WBA Keane 2 Arbeloa 06:44Robbie Keane scored his first Premier League goals for Liverpool as they beat West Brom to go three points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table. A combination of Scott Carson's body and Jonas Olsson's more...arm prevented Yossi Benayoun's shot opening the scoring.
But there was no stopping Keane when he latched on to Steven Gerrard's pass before clipping the ball over Carson.
Keane scored his second goal when he rounded Carson and slotted home before Alvaro Arbeloa curled in a late third.
Keane will be delighted to get off the mark in the league, following his £20m summer move from Tottenham.
And the Republic of Ireland international took his goals well as Liverpool made sure there would be no repeat of the collapse that saw them lose a lead and fall to defeat at Spurs a week ago.
It helped that this time they were up against a team in West Brom who have not won at Anfield for 41 years.
Once Liverpool went ahead, it never looked as though the visitors would bring an end to that poor run. less Tags: liverpool keane rafa arbeloa anfield torres Category: Sports Views: 193 Comments: 0 Added: Nov 9, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| 29th October 2008 Liverpool 10 Portsmouth Gerrard pen] 08:13Steven Gerrard's 76th-minute penalty kept Liverpool clear at the top of the table with victory over Portsmouth. Gerrard scored after Papa Bouba Diop undid his side's resolute performance by handling a more...corner in Pompey boss Tony Adams's first game in charge.
Until then, Dirk Kuyt's shot against the post was the closest Liverpool had come to a goal.
Yossi Benayoun was also denied for the home side after a last-ditch Sylvain Distin tackle before Gerrard's winner.
Pompey belatedly pushed forward in search of an equaliser after the goal but Liverpool held on for a win to stay three points clear at the top of the table.
However, it was a close call for the Reds after manager Rafael Benitez had made four changes from the side that beat Chelsea on Sunday. less Tags: liverpool gerrard rafa kuyt anfield Category: Sports Views: 72 Comments: 3 Added: Oct 30, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| 26th October Chelsea 01 Liverpool Alonso 01:23Liverpool demonstrated their growing title credentials by ending Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten run in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge and moving three points clear at the top of the table. Xabi Alonso's more...deflected 10th-minute goal gave Liverpool victory and shattered a Chelsea sequence stretching back to February 2004 on home turf.
It was a deserved triumph for Rafael Benitez's side achieved without Fernando Torres and the first setback for the reign of Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea.
Chelsea enjoyed long periods of possession, but Liverpool never flinched and could have doubled their victory margin had Alonso's second-half free-kick not hit an upright.
Ashley Cole missed Chelsea's best chance after the break, allowing Liverpool to record a victory which is of huge significance in terms of their confidence and self-belief. less Tags: liverpool premiership alonso reina rafa gerrard Category: Sports Views: 103 Comments: 0 Added: Oct 26, 08 By: merseybeat | |

Tim Cahill had Everton's best chance after 13 minutes but mis-kicked from Mikel Arteta's corner.
Everton's misery was complete when referee Mike Riley sent Cahill off for fouling Xabi Alonso after 80 minutes. less Tags: liverpool rafa torres keane alonso Category: Sports Views: 188 Comments: 1 Added: Sep 27, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| 16th Sept Marseille 12 Liverpool Gerrard 2 Summary 09:50Steven Gerrard's brace helped Liverpool to a hard-fought win at Marseille in their Champions League Group D opener. Lorik Cana beat the Reds offside trap to slot the French side ahead but Gerrard curled more...in a sublime outswinging 22-yard shot to level.
Gerrard scored his 99th goal for Liverpool when he slotted in a retaken penalty after Ryan Babel was fouled.
Mamadou Niang glanced a header wide and had a strike saved by Pepe Reina late on but the Reds held on for a win.
Liverpool had beaten Marseille 4-0 last December but found the current side a much-improved unit and hungry to avenge that defeat.
Marseille gave the Reds a stern test but found Liverpool's defence - in particular Reina - in stubborn mood, while Gerrard again rose to the occasion.
The midfielder was starting for the first time since recovering from a groin injury along with striker Fernando Torres, who had an early looping far-post header tipped over by Marseille keeper Steve Mandanda.
The home side did not let that affect their attacking intentions and Bakari Kone's pace was unsettling Liverpool, while Marseille's quick one-twos were threatening to pierce the Reds backline. less Tags: liverpool reina rafa champions league babel Category: Sports Views: 258 Comments: 0 Added: Sep 16, 08 By: merseybeat | |

Keane was put clean through by Javier Mascherano after the break but scuffed his shot wide when in front of goal.
Substitute James Milner had a late chance to wrap up all three points on his return to the club, but Reds keeper Pepe Reina saved comfortably.
With Chelsea held by Tottenham, Liverpool had the chance to go top of the league on a ground where they have enjoyed plenty of success over the years. less Tags: liverpool reina rafa keane torres ynwa Category: Sports Views: 65 Comments: 0 Added: Aug 31, 08 By: merseybeat | |

| Saturday 16 August 2008 Sunderland 01 Liverpool Torres 08:45Spanish striker Fernando Torres struck a brilliant late winner as Liverpool made hard work of beating Sunderland. Torres collected a Xabi Alonso pass, turned into space and rifled home a sensational drive more...into Craig Gordon's bottom right-hand corner from 25 yards.
Sunderland did not deserve to lose and Daryl Murphy headed their best chance straight at goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Gordon saved from Yossi Benayoun and debutant Robbie Keane unintentionally blocked Torres' shot before his winner.
After a turbulent couple of weeks for Liverpool which led to speculation in Saturday's newspapers boss Rafa Benitez might quit the club, it was a much-needed early season boost for the Reds.
Benitez has been frustrated over their failed attempts to sign Aston Villa's Gareth Barry and they could only draw 0-0 against Standard Liege on Wednesday in their Champions League third qualifying round first-leg match.
Keane annoyed with late goal But Torres' brilliant late finish gives them the perfect start to the league season and takes the pressure off Benitez, who reiterated his commitment to the club before the game. With summer signing Keane making his league debut up front alongside Torres, much was expected from Liverpool's £46m strikeforce. less Tags: liverpool torres alonso rafa ynwa reina Category: Sports Views: 315 Comments: 1 Added: Aug 17, 08 By: merseybeat | |
