Fernando Torres and substitute David Ngog left Manchester United reeling as Liverpool displayed a spirited performance to end their four-game losing streak.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez had said prior to the game that one win would change everything, and his team delivered the best result to ease the pressure on the Spaniard. The champions were eventually beaten after a stunning performance of defiance that followed days of the worst crisis Liverpool have suffered since decades.

Torres fought his injured frame through the game and grabbed his ninth goal of the campaign midway through the second half to get Liverpool really firing. Ngog hit the second in stoppage-time, with the match at boiling point. United had by that stage lost Nemanja Vidic to his third red card in successive matches against Liverpool.

Javier Mascherano was also sent off, but it was Liverpool who inflicted the second league defeat of the season on United to restore faith among their worried fans.
