90
Jaaskelainen makes a fantastic double save at the death with great efforts from Benayoun and Hyypia in the box.
90
Keane slides a wonderful reverse pass through to El-Zhar in the box but O'Brien manages to hack the ball clear before the substitute can get a shot away. Top drawer defending from O'Brien there.

87
Liverpool win their fourteenth corner of the game and Alonso finds Hyypia but his header is desperately cleared by O'Brien.

Muamba runs at goal before sliding the ball through to Smolarek whose shot from just outside the box clips the post and goes behind for a goal-kick.

80
Yellow Card
Gavin McCann has no complaints at being shown the yellow card after catching Xabi Alonso late.
78
Rafa Benitez is perhaps looking to the fixture at Newcastle on Sunday already and is giving some of his players a rest. The eleven men still on the field do not look like sitting back however and El-Zhar looks very bright on the left flank.

62

60

41
Jamie Carragher receives the ball in an unorthodox attacking position and hits a swerving left footed shot that grazes the crossbar.

Benayoun gets behind the defence and reaches the byline but his cross is put behind for a corner kick.
16
Gerrard and Alonso are dictating the tempo of the game at the moment but when their side get into the final third they don't have anywhere to go. They will keep knocking at the door though and hopefully a breakthrough will come soon.
13
The visitors are getting men behind the ball and are doing well at snuffing out their opponents attacking moves.
11
