Liverpool endured a frustrating afternoon as they were held to a goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield. The best chance of an even first-half fell to Robbie Keane, but the Republic of Ireland striker shot straight at keeper Mark Schwarzer from eight yards. Fulham were not just content to soak up pressure and Andrew Johnson and Jimmy Bullard both tested Pepe Reina. Liverpool dominated the second half but failed to capitalise and remain second behind Chelsea in the table. If Rafael Benitez's side harbour serious ambitions of challenging for the Premier League title this season, however, then they will need to perform better than they did against the Cottagers. Before Saturday's encounter the visitors had collected just one point on their travels but they turned in a disciplined and confident performance and for the first half at least, looked capable of adding three more to that total.

Liverpool's Premier League title challenge gathered further momentum with an impressive victory at Bolton. Dirk Kuyt brilliantly headed the visitors in front from Fabio Aurelio's cross after 28 minutes. Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard both missed open goals before captain Gerrard headed in substitute Fernando Torres' cross with 18 minutes left. Bolton's Gary Cahill had a header ruled out for a foul and Ricardo Gardner missed two good opportunities. The win ensured Liverpool maintained the pressure on their rivals as they seek their first title since 1990. Bolton were outplayed for long stretches, but mounted a spirited effort after the break, only for any hope of a comeback to be snuffed out by Gerrard's close range header. Liverpool kept Torres on the bench as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury but he emerged for the last 30 minutes to great effect. All the other big guns were restored after a weakened side lost in the Carling Cup at Spurs in midweek.

Carling Cup holders Tottenham strode into the quarter-finals with a clinical win over Liverpool in a thrilling tie. Three goals in six first-half minutes put the hosts in control, Roman Pavlyuchenko drilling in the opener. Fraizer Campbell then got his first goals in a Spurs shirt when he clipped home before heading in from 12 yards. Damien Plessis and Sami Hyypia headed in replies for Liverpool after Heurelho Gomes errors, but Pavlyuchenko tapped in his second in between to wrap it up. It was an excellent performance from a home side that have been rejuvenated almost beyond recognition under Harry Redknapp, and only three matches now stand between the north Londoners and a return to Wembley where they won the trophy last season.

Robbie Keane scored his first Premier League goals for Liverpool as they beat West Brom to go three points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table. A combination of Scott Carson's body and Jonas Olsson's arm prevented Yossi Benayoun's shot opening the scoring. But there was no stopping Keane when he latched on to Steven Gerrard's pass before clipping the ball over Carson. Keane scored his second goal when he rounded Carson and slotted home before Alvaro Arbeloa curled in a late third. Keane will be delighted to get off the mark in the league, following his £20m summer move from Tottenham. And the Republic of Ireland international took his goals well as Liverpool made sure there would be no repeat of the collapse that saw them lose a lead and fall to defeat at Spurs a week ago. It helped that this time they were up against a team in West Brom who have not won at Anfield for 41 years. Once Liverpool went ahead, it never looked as though the visitors would bring an end to that poor run.

Steven Gerrard rescued Liverpool with a 95th-minute penalty after Maxi Rodriguez's opener had looked set to secure victory for Atletico Madrid. Liverpool were denied a penalty early on despite Luis Perea appearing to foul Daniel Agger, and instead they went behind when Rodriguez volleyed in. The Reds felt they were again denied a spot-kick when Perea seemed to handle. They got their chance at the third time of asking and Gerrard smashed home after he was fouled by Mariano Pernia. A victory for Liverpool or Atletico would have secured them a place in the knockout stages as PSV Eindhoven were beaten by Marseille in Group G's other match.

Steven Gerrard's 76th-minute penalty kept Liverpool clear at the top of the table with victory over Portsmouth. Gerrard scored after Papa Bouba Diop undid his side's resolute performance by handling a corner in Pompey boss Tony Adams's first game in charge. Until then, Dirk Kuyt's shot against the post was the closest Liverpool had come to a goal. Yossi Benayoun was also denied for the home side after a last-ditch Sylvain Distin tackle before Gerrard's winner. Pompey belatedly pushed forward in search of an equaliser after the goal but Liverpool held on for a win to stay three points clear at the top of the table. However, it was a close call for the Reds after manager Rafael Benitez had made four changes from the side that beat Chelsea on Sunday.

Liverpool demonstrated their growing title credentials by ending Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten run in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge and moving three points clear at the top of the table. Xabi Alonso's deflected 10th-minute goal gave Liverpool victory and shattered a Chelsea sequence stretching back to February 2004 on home turf. It was a deserved triumph for Rafael Benitez's side achieved without Fernando Torres and the first setback for the reign of Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea. Chelsea enjoyed long periods of possession, but Liverpool never flinched and could have doubled their victory margin had Alonso's second-half free-kick not hit an upright. Ashley Cole missed Chelsea's best chance after the break, allowing Liverpool to record a victory which is of huge significance in terms of their confidence and self-belief.

Liverpool were denied a three-point haul from their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid after conceding a late equaliser to Simao Sabrosa, a player once targeted by Reds boss Rafael Benitez. The unmarked Simao drilled home a low shot with seven minutes remaining to cancel out Robbie Keane's early opener for Liverpool as the two sides, having each won their first two games, remained unbeaten in Group D. Liverpool controlled the first half and held a deserved lead at the break but Atletico, who had been unbeaten in their previous six home meetings with English opposition, fought back to salvage a point which could ease the pressure on under-fire coach Javier Aguirre. The Champions League anthem at the start of the match was greeted by jeers and whistles from the home fans, while the Atletico supporters behind the goal also turned their backs to the pitch in protest against the punishment handed out by UEFA last week. Atletico were given a three-match stadium ban in Europe and fined by UEFA following crowd disturbances and accusations of racism during their Champions League home match against Marseille. Atletico have appealed against the punishment, which is why Wednesday's match was able to go ahead at the Vicente Calderon and not at least 300 kilometres away from Madrid. However, there was no obvious repeat of those crowd disturbances or racist chanting during Wednesday's clash, which saw Liverpool quickly settle into their stride. Benitez's troops, unbeaten in their last 15 matches, could barely have asked for an easier opening 45 minutes as they took an early lead through Keane before comfortably containing a toothless Atletico. Keane's goal came not long after young Atletico midfielder Ignacio Camacho had headed over the first chance of the match following a Simao free-kick. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard created the chance with a superb pass through for Keane, who beat the Atletico offside trap before coolly slotting low past Leo Franco. That was just the start Liverpool would have been hoping for and Gerrard and Xabi Alonso both then tried their luck from distance before Keane spurned a decent opening to double Liverpool's lead. He again escaped the attentions of his markers to get on the end of Gerrard's right-wing cross, but the Irishman attempted an ambitious flick and ended up missing the ball. At the other end a much-changed Atletico, who had lost their previous three league matches against Sevilla, Barcelona and arch rivals Real Madrid, looked devoid of ideas going forward in the first half. The hosts finally gave their fans something to get excited about in the 40th minute when former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan unleashed a 25-yard drive that flew just wide of Jose Reina's far post. Aside from that effort though, the Liverpool custodian, one of four Spanish players in the Liverpool line-up, had precious little to do before the break. Atletico coach Aguirre, under pressure following three successive league defeats, decided it was time to change things around at the break and he sent on star striker Sergio Aguero for former Liverpool player Luis Garcia. That change immediately appeared to give Atletico a lift as they twice came close to an equaliser soon after the break. The first opening saw Maniche pick up a pass from Forlan on the far side of the area before firing in a shot that flew into the far corner of the net. However, the Portuguese was left with his head in his hands - along with the majority of the stadium - as he noticed the offside flag had gone up. From an almost identical position moments later Simao then drilled in a shot which Reina brilliantly helped onto the post and then gathered at the second attempt as Liverpool rode their luck. Reina could do little about the goal that brought Atletico back on level terms in the 83rd minute however. Simao was left in acres of space on the far side of the area and, after Forlan h

Dirk Kuyt's scissor-kick five minutes from time gave Liverpool all three points against 10-man Wigan in a pulsating game at Anfield. Amr Zaki gave the visitors the lead after a mistake from Daniel Agger, but Kuyt fired Liverpool level. On the stroke of half-time Zaki scored a spectacular overhead-kick to restore Wigan's lead, before Antonio Valencia was sent off for two bookable offences. The home side hit back through Albert Riera, before Kuyt's late winner. The result is harsh on a Wigan side who, until Valencia's sending off, looked good value for at least a point. Wigan played with great confidence and, with the inspirational Zaki up front, they regularly troubled the Liverpool defence.

Dirk Kuyt scored an injury-time winner as Liverpool came back from two goals down to beat 10-man Manchester City. Stephen Ireland lashed in a shot to put City ahead and Javier Garrido curled a 22-yard free-kick into the top corner to extend the home side's lead. But Fernando Torres sidefooted home and, after City's Pablo Zabaleta was sent off for a tackle on Xabi Alonso, headed in to level for the visitors. Kuyt dramatically decided the game late on when he slotted in at the far post. Liverpool showed plenty of character and belief in completing a battling comeback which will only have served to enhance their title credentials. The game was a match up between a City side who were the highest scorers in the Premier League before the encounter, while the Reds had the top-flight's meanest defence. And they produced an action-packed match with plenty of drama.

Robbie Keane's first goal since his £20.3m move from Tottenham helped Liverpool ease to victory over PSV Eindhoven in Champions League Group D. Dirk Kuyt put the Reds ahead after four minutes, following up after Andreas Isaksson saved Fernando Torres' volley. Keane made it 2-0 before half-time when he hooked home Torres' bouncing cross. Steven Gerrard wrapped up the win with a ferocious free-kick - his 100th goal for Liverpool - before Danny Koevermans bundled home a consolation for PSV.

Fernando Torres struck twice in three minutes as Liverpool comfortably eased past Everton in the Merseyside derby. Torres slid home Robbie Keane's cross after 59 minutes then pounced on a loose ball to score from close range after Phil Jagielka tackled Dirk Kuyt. Tim Cahill had Everton's best chance after 13 minutes but mis-kicked from Mikel Arteta's corner. Everton's misery was complete when referee Mike Riley sent Cahill off for fouling Xabi Alonso after 80 minutes.

Lucas Leiva grabbed Liverpool's winner as the Anfield side saw off the challenge of League One side Crewe. Daniel Agger put the Reds ahead when he drove in a free-kick awarded for Michael O'Connor's foul on David Ngog. O'Connor atoned for his foul as he shot home from close range after keeper Diego Cavalieri parried Calvin Zola's header from a Billy Jones corner. But Leiva timed a run to perfection to meet a Jermaine Pennant cross and headed in to wrap up a Reds win.

Liverpool were left lamenting a second-minute disallowed goal after they were held to a goalless draw at home by newly promoted Stoke. Steven Gerrard had the ball in the back of the net after 76 seconds from a free-kick - only for the goal to be controversially ruled out for offside. Stoke continued to frustrate the home side as Thomas Sorensen saved Robbie Keane's 51st-minute strike. And Andy Griffin's late goal-line clearance ensured the match was drawn. After the heights of a 2-1 victory over rivals Manchester United last week, Liverpool will consider the solitary point a setback for their title ambitions, although they briefly took top spot in the Premier League before they were deposed by Arsenal.
