Play by play
- 94'
FULL TIME Liverpool secure a fortunate 2-0 victory over Everton thanks to an own goal from Joseph Yobo and a second-half tap-in from Dirk Kuyt. The Reds are up to fifth while Everton ponder another disappointing day.
- 91'
Liverpool fans taunt their near neighbours with chants of "going down, going down, going down". They are only three points away from relegation.
- 90'
Everton have really deserved a goal but Saha skews his effort well off target. After playing so well, this will be a disheartening experience for the home side.
- 88'
Liverpool go in search of a third but Riera's low effort is deflected wide by the legs of Howard.
- 86'
Lucas Neill replaces Joseph Yobo at the back for Everton.
- 85'
The oles ring out around the visiting fans as Liverpool pass the ball around and they will be delighted with this result, if not the performance.
- 84'
Johnny Heitinga picks up the first booking of the game for a fairly cynical challenge on Lucas. That was borne out of frustration and he will now miss next week's game against Spurs due to suspension.
- 82'
Reina comes and misses a cross but when Bilyaletdinov hooks the ball back into the danger zone, Saha is outmuscled and the chance passes.
- 81'
Everton respond by bringing on Yakubu for Tim Cahill but it is too late for the Toffees. They will wonder how they lost this game.
- 80'
GOAL! Quite unbelievably, Liverpool take a 2-0 lead. Albert Riera's low effort is palmed into the path of Kuyt who taps home. Yobo miscued a clearance in the build-up.
- 79'
Steven Pienaar is harsly penalised for a foul on Glen Johnson and the frustration is clear on Everton faces.
- 78'
Rafa shuffles his pack as Albert Riera replaces Fabio Aurelio.
- 77'
Yossi Benayoun embarks on a dazzling run that takes him past four Everton defenders and into the box, but he eventually runs the ball out of play.
- 75'
Liverpool make a change as Yossi Benayoun comes on for David Ngog, with Dirk Kuyt shifting into the centre.
- 73'
You get the feeling that that was Everton's chance to get back in the game. It really is quite incredible that they are losing this game 1-0, but time is running out now.
- 71'
Pepe Reina makes two outstanding saves! The 'keeper first dives full-length to keep out a Tim Cahill header then somehow blocks Marouane Fellaini's point-blank effort from the rebound. Wow.
- 69'
Louis Saha attempts an outrageous effort from the tightest of angles that thunders into the side-netting. Tim Cahill wanted a cross.
- 67'
Dirk Kuyt does superbly to close down Baines, win possession and cut back for Ngog, but Yobo produces a superb block to deny the young Frenchman.
- 66'
Here is the change and Saha comes on in place of Jo. How the former Manchester United striker would love to score today.
- 66'
Lucas tries to collect a Gerrard header but Distin does just enough to prevent the Brazilian from bursting into the box and having a shot.
- 65'
Steven Gerrard's delivery finds Agger but he sends his header over the bar. On the touchlines, Moyes readies Louis Saha.
- 64'
Yobo does well to clear an Aurelio cross with an overhead kick and Everton then concede a corner.
- 62'
Daniel Agger miscues a volleyed clearance from a Hibbert cross and Everton have a corner. They have looked dangerous from set-pieces but Cahill's delivery results in Heitinga firing well over.
- 62'
Liverpool win a rare corner but Everton cleat with ease. The Reds really haven't been much of a threat at all in this game. The scoreline is a real injustice.
- 60'
Lucas is furiously remonstrating with Alan Wiley and replays show that the blood gushing down his face was caused by a leading elbow from the leaping Fellaini. That will have hurt.
