<b>FULL TIME</b> A comfortable 3-0 victory for Liverpool through goals from Maxi, Kuyt and Suarez. The Reds are into fifth.
- 93'
Johnson heads clear at the near post and that should be that.

One last corner for Newcastle, can they grab a goal for their travelling fans?

Still all-square in the closing stages between Birmingham and Wolves. That result not enough to lift Wolves out of the bottom three.

<b>FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>

It seems to have vanished now as play continues. At least nobody gave it the same treatment that poor owl received...
- 88'
Looks like a bird has fallen onto the pitch at Anfield. Not sure how they'll deal with that.
- 87'
Glen Johnson is down with cramp for Liverpool. It has been a solid return to the team for the England man.
- 85'

- 84'
A worthy strike from Nolan, who curls an effort just over the bar from the edge of the area after Ranger's knock back.
- 83'
Newcastle's lack of attacking options displayed with the introduction of Kuqi. A new striker is a must for the Toon army next season.

A penalty appeal from Newcastle! Ameobi controls the ball before moving past Skrtel. The Slovakian stretches out a leg and trips Ameobi, but nothing is given!

Reina comfortably catches Barton's delivery.
- 78'
The free kick is taken short to Gutierrez, who earns another corner for Newcastle.
- 77'
Newcastle free kick on the edge of the area after Johnson trips Ameobi.

The corner is clear as far as Tiote, who hits a decent volley wide of Reina's goal.
- 75'
Gutierrez wins a corner, will there be a consolation goal for Newcastle?
- 74'
Close from Raul Meireles. An excellent, deep cross from Johnson, and a lunging header from Meireles is only just wide.

Newcastle fans will be disappointed with their team today. Liverpool have barely had to get out of second gear to secure a comfortable win.
- 70'
Carroll has already scored in this fixture once this season, for Newcastle in a 3-1 win at St Jame's Park.
