Liverpool grabbed a lucky Merseyside derby victory to claim fifth place in the Premier League on a day of raw tension at Goodison Park.

But they will have sighed with relief after being pounded for almost all of this local showdown, but somehow emerged with the vital three points. An own goal from Joseph Yobo, deflecting a Javier Mascherano effort past Tim Howard saw Liverpool ahead at the break despite being almost permanently on the back foot as Everton pushed forward.

But their eighth win in their last ten visits to Goodison Park was secured with ten minutes to time when Dirk Kuyt scored from close range after another Yobo blunder.

Everton were the dominant force, but could not turn their possession into goals, with Liverpool now having lost just two of their last 20 league games against the old rival.
