Liverpool pummelled the Newcastle goal almost from the off, Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard both denied goals by superb saves from Shay Given. Given continued to look in invincible form palming away a Lucas Leiva header, but eventually the Reds’ dominance paid dividends when Steven Gerrard converted Benayoun’s cut-back. And then it was two, Sami Hyypia rose unchallenged to head home a Gerrard corner with the Toon defense all at sea. But just as the Toon were looking doomed heading into the break, David Edgar headed in Guthrie’s corner to give the hosts renewed hope. Liverpool restored their two goal cushion minutes into the second half as more poor defending allowed Ryan Babel to bundle the ball over the line. Steven Gerrard killed the match with a fourth after receiving a perfect through-ball from Lucas, and the Xabi Alonso added a fifth from the spot after Ngog was fouled by Edgar.
