Reds lift Anfield misery: "Liverpool earned a 2-0 victory over fierce North West rivals Manchester United to lift the recent misery surrounding Anfield."

Pre-match build-up focused on doom and gloom as the Reds went into the contest in their worst form for 22 years, sparking speculation that Rafa Benitez could be facing the sack.

But Torres - who overcame injury to start, unlike Steven Gerrard - and substitute David Ngog scored in the second half to earn a first win in four games, erasing the pain of consecutive defeats to Fiorentina, Chelsea, Sunderland and Lyon.

Before kick-off, there were funny moments when Manchester United fans threw beach balls onto the pitch, in celebration of Darren Bent's infamous goal for Sunderland. But The Kop released even more inflatable balls onto the pitch later. Watch the video here ("Liverpool - Manchester United (2-0) BALLOON'S !!").
