It was a simple gesture, missed by the majority of Hull's biggest crowd of the season, but Dirk Kuyt's goal celebration in front of jubilant Liverpool fans was a clear signal to Manchester United that the title race is not over yet. [LNB]One of the Barclays Premier League's hardest-working strikers marked his 100th league appearance in England with two goals which briefly took Liverpool back to the summit and condemned unlucky Hull to their 12th defeat since they drew at Anfield in December. [LNB]Liverpool were fortunate. Kuyt scored his second in the final minute just after Rafael Benitez had sent on Daniel Agger to shore up his nervy defence, which was being bombarded by Hull's aerial brigade. [LNB] [LNB] Red hot: Midfielder Xabi Alonso gives Liverpool the lead at the KC Stadium[LNB]Not that it bothered the Holland striker or his manager.
