Liverpool FC 2 Blackburn 1
Liverpool kept up their challenge for a top four place with a good win at Anfield.
Fernando Torres made his first start since January 13th by scoring the winner in a bad tempered game.
Liverpool went ahead in the first half through Steven Gerrard beating the goalkeeper with a good volley after exchanging passes with Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun.
Blackburn equalised after Jamie Carragher gave away a penalty and Keith Andrews equalised from the spot.
Blackburn could have easily had 2 players sent off both Steven Nzoni for hitting Lucas and Pascal Chimbonda for kicking a player. Kuyt should have finished the game for Liverpoolbut headed wide from a Gerrard corner.
The fluid performance of "El Nino" would have put a smile on Raffa s Face.
Lucas again put the win in jeopardy by giving away one of his trademark silly fouls outside the box.
Pepe Reina was in fine form with 2 magnificent saves.
