Liverpool steal late victory


Liverpool fought back to a last-gasp 3-2 victory at 10-man Manchester City to keep pace with Chelsea at the top of the English Premier League on Sunday.

The Reds were 2-0 down before Fernando Torres levelled with two goals and Dirk Kuyt snatched a late winner as Chelsea beat visitors Aston Villa 2-0 thanks to goals from Joe Cole and Nicolas Anelka.

The results leave Liverpool and Chelsea level on points at the top of the Premier League, with the Blues ahead on goal difference.

Spain striker Torres scored Liverpool's 1,000th goal in the Premier League in the 55th minute, before City defender Pablo Zabaleta was sent off in the 67th minute for a dreadful challenge on Xabi Alonso.

Torres scored a simple glancing header six minutes later before Netherlands forward Kuyt stole a victory for the Reds with a drilled shot in injury time.
