Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - and as easy an outing as Liverpool will have this season. Fulham were abysmal and Rodgers' side made them pay. The Reds go up into the top half, joint eighth, and at least they end a miserable year at home on a positive note.

- 93'
Excellent work from Enrique, who slalomed down the byline from a short corner and pulled back a perfect pass for Suarez who made no mistake from nine yards out.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Suarez slots home! Enrique pulled it back and the Uruguayan calmly finished.
- 91'
Three added minutes as Liverpool win a corner.
- 90'
Rodallega hits the post with a free kick on the edge of the box - the best chance Fulham have had.
- 89'
Dejagah's effort is deflected - corner for Fulham.
- 88'
People filtering out now. Long trek back for Fulham's fans. Hope the club give them their money back.
- 86'
Suarez draws a smart save from Schwarzer as Suarez looks for the far corner from the free kick.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Sterling gets round Karagounis, who slides in, brings down the winger, and gets a booking.
- 84'
Berbatov sets up Riether with a good chance to cross but his pull back is cut out by Gerrard. Poor.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Carragher replaces Lucas.
- 82'
Frei gets past Johnson but can only flick a weak cross towards Rodallega, then Suarez nudges Hughes out of the way and a free kick is given to Fulham.
- 81'
Another weak Berbatov effort, this time with his left, and this time Reina clings on.
- 80'
Berbatov's first effort, a low shot that bounces in front of Reina who parries, and Skrtel clears.
- 79'
Nearly a worldy from Suarez as he beats two players and stumbles into the box - Schwarzer comes out and parries, then both collapse on the ball until the 'keeper emerges with it.
- 78'
The free kick flashes across goal, Johnson meets it, the ball breaks for Gerrard but Schwarzer blocks his effort as he tried to finish low into the net.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Dejagah clatters into Enrique and gives away a free kick. He is carded for his trouble too.
- 75'
You could hear a pin drop at Anfield now. I think the crowd have had enough of this atrocious weather.
- 74'
Sterling again rushes into the box and tries a delicate one-two, he goes down when Riether gets his body in the way of the ball and though the Kop scream for a pen, Clattenberg is right not to give it.
- 73'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> That's Shelvey's last involvement as he is replaced by Joe Allen.
- 71'
Sterling swaps passes with Shelvey and tries to dink the ball over Hughes but the deflection nearly ends up creeping in the far corner. From the corner, Shelvey glances wide.
- 69'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Suso comes off and Rahim Sterling will get 20 minutes to show why he's just signed a new long-term deal.
- 67'
Again, good pressing induces a Fulham mistake in midfield, Gerrard nearly gets into the area before Downing lashes a shot just over the bar. He's been very good today.
- 66'
Decent strike from Johnson after cutting in on his left but it was never troubling the net.
