That's all from me. Thanks for following the action with me today - we'll be back tomorrow with Everton vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Sunderland.

The last time Stoke beat Liverpool, Apple released their first Macintosh computer. That was a long time ago.
- 90'
But Stoke deserve credit. In the bottom three before kick off today, they stepped up the intensity of their game after half time and overawed a flat Liverpool side.
- 90'
Gerrard was okay, but Torres was abject. That stunning double over Chelsea looks like a long time ago.
- 90'
<b>That's it! Stoke have beaten Liverpool 2-0. Horrible night for Liverpool who, once again, have proved that if Gerrard and Torres are off form, Liverpool are off form.</b>
- 90'
Roy Hodgson is looking glum.

We are into the dying seconds at the Britannia stadium.

That really was stupid by Lucas. Etherington wasn't relly going anywhere, but the damage is done and Liverpool will see out the final few minutes with ten men.

- 89'
Wilkinson finds Pennant, who slides the ball into the path of Jones, who takes a touch and places his finish into the corner and beyond Reina. Lovely finish.

- 88'
Liverpool lose possession and Walters, the Stoke substitute, leads the counter attack. He got the ball onto his right foot on the edge of the box and tried an ambitious curler, but it goes wide.
- 86'
Infact it was Konchesky and he tried to shoot! What IS he doing? That ball is still rising, still rising... Truly terrible shot.
- 85'
Liverpool have a free-kick about 40 yards out and Gerrard will float this into the box...
- 84'

- 83'
But Stoke are still hanging on here. This will be a dent to the turning of the corner Liverpool were supposed to be doing. They have just a few minutes to salvage a point.
- 81'
Temperatures are rising here. There's physical, then there's PHYSICAL! Stoke are being PHYSICAL.

.<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Another bad foul! This time it's <b>Ricardo Fuller</b> on Gerrard. And Fuller is correctly booked.
- 79'
Halsey has spoken to them both, but not booked either one of them. Is this football or UFC?
- 78'
There is a collision between Kyrgiakos and Jones, who are really going for each other! They could be in trouble here...
- 77'
Etherington hits the resulting free kick into the Liverpool wall, who were not 10 yards back. The referee, Mark Halsey, has been leniant there. That should have been retaken.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>Skrtel</b> is booked for a foul on Fuller. Or was it his berating of the ref? Either way, it's yellow for Skrtel.
- 75'
Babel has looked bright since coming on but his searing run into the Stoke half is halted after the referee claims Babel had fouled Pennant to win the ball. There probably was a tug.
- 74'
Ryan Babel runs at pace from the left wing, cuts inside, and fires a shot over the bar. It wasn't too far over but it was a Hollywood effort.
- 73'
Torres, 25 yards out with his back to goal, inexplicably boots it out of play when he had runners. The ball is in Row Z. That was like the John Smith's advert starring Peter Kay. Torres looks embarrassed, he should be.
