Play by play
- 92'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Liverpool run out comfortable and worthy winners with goals from Henderson, Skrtel and Adam. Klasnic's consolation goal is of absolutely zero significance.
- 91'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <i>Klasnic with the most meaningless of goals.</i> Poor defending from Carragher, gives the ball to Petrov who advances. Carragher recovers to stop Petrov, but the ball rolls to Klasnic who sweeps home.
- 90'
<b>TWO MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 89'
Yet another fantastic cross into the box, this time from the tireless Enrique. His cross is just too long for Kuyt.
- 87'
Downing gets the better of Steinsson once again, cutting inside the full-back and blazing a shot way over the crossbar.
- 85'
Free-kick to Liverpool, Reo-Coker bringing down his former Villa team-mate Downing.
- 84'
The cross is woeful. Over-hit and of no danger to Liverpool.
- 83'
A corner to Bolton, Enrique heading behind Petrov's cross.
- 82'
A hideous miscue from Steinsson, who scuffs a pass straight out of play. Bolton can't wait for this one to be over.
- 80'
Carroll swivels and fires off a left-foot shot. It's poor though, and well wide.
- 79'
Bedlam in the Bolton defence. Andy Carroll rag-dolls his way through several challenges before finding Skrtel, who is for some reason on the edge of the penalty area. The Slovakian tries to get a shot off, but is crowded out.
- 78'
Stewart Downing with a fantastic cross which narrowly evades Carroll.
- 77'
Andy Carroll has roughly 15 minutes to make an impression on this match. It would have been good to see him and Suarez together.
- 76'

- 75'
Luis Suarez is about to combust. The Uruguayan is feeling particularly hard done by and wants a penalty for Paul Robinson's sliding tackle on him. It looked like a foul, but replays show Robinson got the ball.
- 74'
Daniel Agger is becoming very involved in an attacking sense at the moment, finding himself near the corner flag with only Suarez for support. Nothing comes of his attempted cross.
- 72'
Luis Suarez is beside himself. He wants a free-kick for a blatant pass-back, Jaaskelainen picked up Robinson's pass. Unbelievably, none of the official's spot it and play continues.
- 71'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Darren Prattley on for Kevin Davies</b>
- 70'
Daniel Agger is clearly bored of having little to do, charging forward and unleashing a right-foot shot from the edge of the area. Predictably, it's terrible and clears the crossbar comfortably.
- 69'
Excellent play from Jose Enrique, dispossessing Tuncay and playing in Suarez. The striker thinks he's away, but the flag is up.
- 68'
Liverpool showing that they will be serious top four contenders this season. Maybe not good enough to catch the top teams, but they will be in the mix-up for Champions League places.
- 66'
Bolton's best opening of the match. Klasnic reacting quickest to Robinson's deflected cross. The Croat's shot is again deflected, and easy for Reina to collect.
- 65'
Will Kenny Dalglish consider making a few changes now the game is all but won?
- 64'
Suarez is desperate for a goal, after being fed by Kuyt he tries to spin away from Cahill but his touch is just too heavy. Furious with himself, he kicks the air.
- 64'
As with every other Bolton attack, it comes to nothing. It's not their day today.
