Fernando Torres put Liverpool to claim fourth spot in the Premiership and a place in next season's Champions League by scoring the only goal in the 207th Merseyside derby against Everton to seal a 1-0 win at Anfield on Sunday.
Liverpool, who face Arsenal in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Emirates on Wednesday, looked in danger of conceding the points before Torres had put Rafa Benitez's team ahead on seven minutes.
Having defeated so miserably to Manchester United at Old Trafford last Sunday, Liverpool were in danger of being labelled in the Premiership. The game was only seven minutes from the start when Torres made the breakthrough for Liverpool following a piece of suicidal defending from Yakubu.
Yet despite of great effort for the equaliser, Everton could not find the breakthrough and Liverpool held on for a victory that puts them well-clear in the race for fourth spot.
