Fulham 0 Liverpool 1

Yossi does it! After two fruitless attempts, it was a case of third time lucky for Yossi Benayoun. Despite dominating the game, Liverpool needed an injury time goal from Yossi to secure three vital points. It was nerve wrecking but what a nice feeling it was in the end. Another lovely reminder of Liverpool's resilience. M*n U*d are sure to be pressured by Liverpool right to the end of the season.

"Group hug!!!"

After some fantastic run of games, Liverpool were made to sweat for this one. Liverpool became the first team out of the "Big Four" to beat Fulham at Craven Cottage in the league this season and they required an injury time goal to do that. That showed how strong Fulham have been at home this term.

In the first half, Liverpool could have gone four-nil up if not for the woodwork. Alonso and Torres both have a shot each denied by the woodwork. Dossena who played left wing on the night was twice denied by the crossbar! When Liverpool missed those chances, you start to think negatively again. As it went nearer and nearer to the final whistle, I started to think it will be one of those days again where Liverpool will not have their efforts counted.

Thankfully, Benitez got all his substitution right on the night. Babel and Benayoun came in and played crucial roles in getting the winning goal. It was Babel's calmness which allowed him to find Gerrard in the box and then it was from there where a deflection saw the ball fall to Benayoun. When Benayoun was facing the goal with no one marking him, you know he has a chance of scoring and he did it with poise.

Before that shot, Benayoun had already missed two chances. Thankfully, it was third time lucky for him. With the win, Liverpool went top for awhile before M*n U*d went back there after beating Aston Villa. Although it has some frustration that M*n U*d kept churning out victories, it's really pleasing to see Liverpool pressuring them all the way. Like I said earlier if Liverpool keep winning in the league till the end, I would be a happy man whether the win the league or not. It's another win and an important one. Let's hope Liverpool keep winning. Come on, Reds!
