Cesc Fabregas toe-poked a late goal to cancel out Steven Gerrard's first-half free-kick as Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League.

Gerrard struck on seven minutes, while Liverpool keeper   more...Pepe Reina saved from Emmanuel Adebayor and Tomas Rosicky's lob was cleared off the line.

After the break Emmanuel Eboue hit the post and Fabregas fluffed the rebound.

But Fabregas equalised on 80 minutes and later hit the post as both sides remained unbeaten in the league.  less

Crouchy hat-trick vs Arsenal

A brilliant individual goal from substitute Yossi Benayoun gave Liverpool a hard-earned victory against Wigan at the JJB Stadium.

The Israeli latched onto a through ball from Jermaine Pennant and dribbled   more...past Titus Bramble before finding the net from 10 yards in the 75th minute.

Striker Fernando Torres was guilty of wasting good chances for the Reds.

Wigan should have levelled the score in stoppage time but striker Julius Aghahowa missed a close-range header.  less

Liverpool 2-0 Inter Summary

Liverpool left it late to take control of their Champions League tie against 10-man Inter Milan and ease the pressure on manager Rafael Benitez.

Marco Materazzi harshly saw red on the half hour for two   more...clumsy challenges on Fernando Torres, but Inter held firm.

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

But Dirk Kuyt eased home nerves with a deflected shot on 85 minutes and Steven Gerrard's firm drive sealed a fine win.  less

Yossi Benayoun grabbed a hat-trick as a rampant Liverpool beat Besiktas to keep their Champions League campaign alive.

Peter Crouch slotted in after his first shot was saved to open the scoring.

Benayoun   more...took down a cross and lashed home before twice side-footing in after John Arne Riise and Steven Gerrard had strikes parried into his path.

Gerrard powered in a shot, Ryan Babel backheeled in a deft goal and then deflected in a Besiktas clearance before Crouch nodded in for an eighth.  less

Fernando Torres capped a fine display with a hat-trick as Liverpool dumped Reading out of the Carling Cup.

Yossi Benayoun fired Liverpool ahead, but Bobby Convey volleyed an equaliser from Nicky Shorey's   more...corner.

Torres raced clear to score but again Reading hit back when another Shorey corner was prodded in by John Halls.

But Torres made sure of their place in the fourth round when he slammed home from a John Arne Riise square ball and then ran clear before slotting home.  less

An 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

Haha, man, that sucks.

A strupid video I made for Spanish class

Liverpool 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

Liverpool'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

Robbie 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

Steven 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

Liverpool 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

Fernando Torres struck twice in three minutes as Liverpool comfortably eased past Everton in the Merseyside derby.

Torres slid home Robbie Keane's cross after 59 minutes then pounced on a loose ball to   more...score from close range after Phil Jagielka tackled Dirk Kuyt.

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

Steven 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

Liverpool and Aston Villa played out a cagey goalless draw at Villa Park.

John Carew was denied by the feet of Pepe Reina, while David Ngog shot just over the bar after being set up by Robbie Keane in   more...a dour first half.

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

Spanish 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

Liverpool's second friendly

Liverpool strengthened their grip on fourth place after Fernando Torres' 28th goal of the season gave them victory in the Merseyside derby.

The Spaniard expertly slotted the ball beyond Tim Howard for   more...the only goal of the game after just seven minutes.

With Yakubu deployed as a lone striker Everton created very little, while Liverpool spurned several chances.

A rasping Steven Gerrard volley hit the post, while Everton's best chance fell to Leon Osman who headed wide.  less

Manchester United outclassed 10-man Liverpool to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table.

Wes Brown put United ahead from Wayne Rooney's cross before Liverpool's hopes were hit   more...when Javier Mascherano was sent off for dissent before the break.

Pepe Reina made some great saves but he was at fault when Cristiano Ronaldo headed home United's second and Nani's fine finish completed an emphatic win.

Chelsea's victory over Arsenal leaves United five points clear at the top.  less

Liverpool notched a fifth successive Premier League victory after coming from behind to beat Reading at Anfield.

Marek Matejovsky rounded off a free-kick move from 20 yards out to give Reading an early   more...lead.

Liverpool equalised in equally spectacular fashion when Javier Mascherano rifled his first goal for the club from 23 yards.

Fernando Torres completed the turnaround by planting home an unmarked header from eight yards.  less
