Play by play

  1. 90'

    A manful effort from Leeds after that nightmarish opening 20 minutes. In the end though that two-goal deficit was too much and, with Owen on top form, Liverpool were comfortable winners

  2. 90'

    And little time for any more as referee D'Urso blows for full-time. 3-1 Liverpool

  3. 89'

    Mills heads Gerrard's cross behind for a corner. Liverpool play it back toward their own goal before Diao rises to head at goal. Robinson saves under pressure from Baros

  4. 86'

    Ideal opportunity for Murphy to strike but his right-footer cannons off the wall and Leeds clear despite the Liverpool appeals for hand-ball

  5. 85'

    Liverpool content to play the corner back but probe again before Baros is brought down 23 yards out

  6. 85'

    Owen finds Carragher on the overlap. Baros goes far post though and Leeds can scramble the cross behind

  7. 84'

    Traore heads back to Dudek under pressure from the ever-trying Smith

  8. 83'

    Radebe's stooping header clears the throw-in

  9. 83'

    Harte has to hook the ball out of play as Gerrard looks to pick out Diouf on the right

  10. 82'

    Mills has a pop at goal but no problem for Dudek, who scoops up a rather tame shot

  11. 81'

    Owen sets off on another surge from midfield but a bad touch allows Lucic to pick it up

  12. 80'

    Dudek rises to collect as Viduka lurks under the high ball from midfield

  13. 78'

    Jamie McMaster comes on for Leeds midfielder Okon as Salif Diao and Milan Baros replace Hamann and Heskey in a double change for the home side

  14. 77'

    Hyypia and Riise tidy up after Milner does well to cross from the right

  15. 75'

    Leeds forced back from the corner but they build again through Milner and Okon before Viduka is caught offside in attempting to control Harte's mis-hit shot

  16. 75'

    Smith battles on gamely though, forcing a corner at the other end

  17. 74'

    A much-needed goal from Liverpool's point of view as Leeds were threatening the equaliser. Superb work from Owen though and a finish to match

  18. 73'

    Owen bursts forward from the throw-in though, cutting back inside Lucic to pick out Gerrard at the far post for the pinpoint finish. 3-1 Liverpool

  19. 72'

    Radebe heads clear after Carragher's disappointing cross

  20. 70'

    Getting tense at Anfield though as Leeds grow. Gerrard scrambles back to prevent Okon from crossing. Mills' long throw is aimed for Viduka but the Reds can belt it away

  21. 69'

    Smith rises in the middle of the penalty box melee to head over the bar.

  22. 68'

    Lucic flicks on at the near post only for Mills to get his header wrong - Liverpool scramble it behind

  23. 68'

    Important challange from Traore blocks Viduka's strike from outside the box. Corner kick though...

  24. 67'

    Murphy's first-time chip is too long for Heskey to reach. Goalkick

  25. 65'

    Lucic does well to deny Owen a site of goal after Heskey's lay-offf.
