Breakdown
19:01 GMT : Match Starts
1 min : Sidwell and Agbonlahor start proceedings
1 min : Almost a dream start as Torres dinks one over the Villa back four to Yossi, who with his back to goal heads just wide
2 mins : Torres finds Gerrard down the right...he skins Cuellar but the defender tugs his shirt...free-kick comes to nothing
3 mins : Skrtel shields Agbonlahor and Reina collects
8 mins : Skrtel goes to see the ball out of play for a goalkick, is fouled by Agbonlahor and the ref gives a corner...
9 mins : First Torres, then Yossi, then Gerrard denied in a goalmouth scramble �just wouldn't fall for the Reds
12 mins : First Booking: Ashley Young: Held Dirk back in a promising position
14 mins : Carra and Skrtel have switched sides
14 mins : Yossi, to Torres, to Dirk, to Gerrard...stabs it just over
16 mins : Martin Atkinson seems to be seeing things because Villa have another free-kick in a dangerous area after a 'push' from Insua
21 mins : Great intervention from Johnson...Liverpool looked exposed there
23 mins : Torres gets in elbow in the face but Martin hasn't got his glasses on this time
26 mins : Lucas is robbed in a decent position
33 mins : Villa starting to get a foothold in the game
34 mins : Own Goal! Lucas Leiva: Lucas heads Ashley Young's free-kick into his own net
38 mins : Torres snapshot saved by Friedel
45 mins : Brilliant double tackle by Carra...he looks really up for this now
45 mins : First Booking: Pepe Reina: Dissent after Atkinson gives a corner for no apparent reason
45 mins : GOAL! Curtis Davies: Davies heads home at the near post from resulting corner
19:48 GMT : Half Time Reached
20:05 GMT : Second Half Begins
46 mins : Gerrard and Torres get the second half up and running
47 mins : Good work from Johnson in the box...comes the Stevie...Friedel saves well
52 mins : Having seen the replays, it WAS a corner
53 mins : Johnson down the right...his back-post cross is flicked clear
54 mins : Torres crosses towards his partner in crime...there's a handball shout but Atkinson says no and there's no real protests
55 mins : Fernando wins a free-kick near the corner flag
56 mins : Gerrard cross is fisted clear for a corner
57 mins : First Booking: Nigel Reo-Coker: Kicking the ball away
57 mins : Dirk wins another corner and the Kop is finding its voice
58 mins : Great save to deny Dirk
58 mins : Carra skips past a man and once again it's a Kop end corner
59 mins : Denied at the back post....so close
66 mins : Substitution: Andriy Voronin for Lucas Leiva:
66 mins : Shouts for a pen but ref gives it the other way against Torres...it would have been harsh
68 mins : Skrtel passes to Carra when he's tying his laces...he might get told about that later!
69 mins : Gerrard tries one from 25 yards...palmed away by Friedel
70 mins : Brilliant persistance from Masch
70 mins : We need something soon
72 mins : GOAL! Fernando Torres: Insua cross sidefooted into the roof of the net
75 mins : Penalty Scored! Ashley Young: Gerrard brings Reo-Coker down and Young converts
76 mins : Substitution: Ryan Babel for Yossi Benayoun:
78 mins : Petrov gets one right in the nuts from a Gerrard shot
80 mins : Dirk obstructed....surely a pen???
80 mins : Substitution: Emile Heskey for Ashley Young:
81 mins : Another great save from you know who
82 mins : Babel's cross it skewed agonisingly wide by Kuyt at the far post
84 mins : Carra played through by Voronin...oh, he's offside
88 mins : First Booking: Martin Skrtel:
89 mins : Corner...
89 mins : Masch cross reaches Torres...his header us tipped over by the excellent Friedel
