But they can count themselves fortunate after being forced on to the back foot for much of this showdown at Goodison park. An own-goal from JosephYobo, deflecting a Javier Mascherano effort past Tim Howard, saw Liv- erpool ahead at the break despite being almost permanently on the defensive. But an eighth win from ten vis- its to Goodison was secured with ten minutes to go when Dirk Kuyt scored from close range after another Yobo error. everton were dominant but could not turn their pressure into goals. And Liverpool have now lost just two of their last 20 league games against their city rivals. Mascherano set them on their way in the 12th minute when his 20-yard shot deflected in off Yobo. That shook everton into life and Jo twice had the ball into the net before the break but both ef- forts were ruled out for offside. David Moyes side dominated the second half with one terrific double save by Jose reina deny- ingTimCahillandthenMarouane Fellaini. But Kuyt sealed victory when he bundled home after a miskick by Yobo allowed Steven Gerrard to play in substitute Albert riera and his shot was palmed away by Howard and into the path of the Holland striker.

The midfielder, who hit the only goal of the game against Fulham last week, lifted Alex McLeishs side into 11th spot in the Premier League with his fifth goal of the campaign. McLeish said: When Lee came here other people had doubts about him. But I had no such doubts. When a player gets older, you fear the legs may go but Lee has shown that its not the case with him. Hes confounding his critics. wOLVES 0 bham 1 barclays prEMiEr lEaguE aston villa ......1 Tottenham ...... 1 Agbonlahor 10 Dawson 77 Att 39,866 Blackburn .......0 Stoke .............. 0 Att 25,143 Fulham ............1 Bolton ............. 1 Duff 75 Klasnic 35 Att 23,554 man City .........1 Hull ................. 1 Wright-Phillips 45 Bullard 82 (pen) Att 46,382 portsmouth ....1 man utd ......... 4 Boateng 32 (pen) Rooney 25 (pen), 48, 54 Att 20,482 (pen), Giggs 87 West Ham .......5 Burnley ........... 3 Collison 18 Fletcher 68, 74 Stanislas 33 Eagles 90 Cole 43 (pen) Att 34,003 Franco 51 Jimenez 64 (pen) Wigan ..............1 Sunderland .... 0 Rodallega 76 Att 20,447 yesterday arsenal ............0 Chelsea .......... 3 Att 60,067 Drogba 41, 86 Vermaelen 45 (og) Everton ...........0 Liverpool ........ 2 Att 39,652 Yobo 12 (og), Kuyt 80 Wolves ............0 Birmingham ... 1 Att 26,668 Bowyer 3 p W d L F a pts Chelsea 14 12 0 2 36 8 36 Man Utd 14 10 1 3 30 13 31 Tottenham 14 8 2 4 33 19 26 Arsenal 13 8 1 4 36 18 25 Liverpool 14 7 2 5 31 20 23 Aston Villa 14 6 5 3 22 14 23 Man City 13 5 7 1 24 17 22 Sunderland 14 6 2 6 21 20 20 Stoke 14 5 5 4 13 15 20 Fulham 14 5 4 5 18 16 19 Birmingham 14 5 3 6 12 14 18 Burnley 14 5 2 7 19 31 17 Blackburn 14 5 2 7 16 28 17 Wigan 14 5 2 7 15 31 17 Hull 15 4 4 7 17 31 16 Everton 14 4 3 7 17 25 15 West Ham 14 3 5 6 24 26 14 Bolton 13 3 3 7 16 29 12 Wolverhampton 14 2 4 8 12 27 10 Portsmouth 14 2 1 11 11 23 7 coca-cola chaMpship Bristol City ......2 Sheff utd ........ 3 Carey 53 Henderson 30, 33, 90 Saborio 90 Crystal pal ......3 Watford .......... 0 Moses 2, Lee 6 Ambrose 54 derby ..............2 Reading .......... 1 Green 60, Hulse 73 Sigurdsson 56 newcastle .......3 Swansea ........ 0 Harewood 8, 28 Lovenkrands 21 nottm Forest ..4 doncaster ...... 1 Roberts 18 (og) Sharp 82 Morgan 59, Earnshaw 77 McGugan 80 peterboro .........2 middlesboro .....2 Boyd 54, Batt 76 Kitson 28, 58 plymouth ....... a Barnsley .........a Duguid 9 Bogdanovic 12 Hallfredsson 16 Hammill 24, Shotton 31 Abandoned due to waterlogged pitch.
