2008: Liverpool 3-0 Newcastle United

Liverpool eased past Newcastle United at Anfield to boost their chances of finishing fourth and leave the visitors fighting for Premier League safety.

Jermaine Pennant put Liverpool in front but with a slice of luck. Jose Enrique’s attempted clearance for Newcastle deflected off the player and into the back of the net.

Fernando Torres hit his 25th goal of the season to double the lead just before half-time.

Torres then turned provider as he set up Steven Gerrard to slot home.

The victory kept Liverpool fourth on 56 points. Newcastle were three points above the bottom three.

Liverpool, on 48 points, remained a point behind Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, in fourth and fifth respectively.
