Liverpool go to the top of the Premier League after an injury time winner by Yossi Benayon saw them beat Fulham 1-0.
As usual, Liverpool dominated the pitch with about 61% of possession and 20 shots against the opponent's miserable 3, including 7 shots on target and 1 for Fulham.
It looked like the Reds had blown a great opportunity to put more pressure on Man Utd after they missed a host of chances and hit the woodwork 4 times in the game. Lady Luck was not, or almost never, with Liverpool in this match.
However, the Israeli winger - on as a substitute - latched on to a loose ball in the 92nd minute and drilled a rising shot past the previously impregnable Mark Schwarzer to boost Liverpool's title credentials, lifting them to the top of the table, though Man Utd have 2 games in hand. They will be facing Aston Villa in the next must-win match.
Goalkeeper Jose Reina had an easy job in this match, barely touching the ball and without a save. On the other hand or the other end of the pitch, Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer was fantastic, saving many goals that under normal circumstances should touch the back of the net, but was helpless against Benayon's goal.
