Liverpool closed the gap on Manchester United with a 3-0 victory over a frail Newcastle United on Sunday.
Yossi Benayoun opened the scoring for the hosts at Anfield in the 22nd minute after he bundled home Dirk Kuyt's blast before the Dutchman got himself on the scoresheet with a diving header six minutes later.
The Magpies, who failed to get a shot on target all game, lost Joey Barton in the 77th minute for a wild two-footed lunge on Xabi Alonso which left the Reds midfielder needing to be stretchered off the field.
Substitute Lucas Leiva turned home Fabio Aurelio's free-kick in the 87th minute to round off the win which moves Rafa Benitez's side within three points of Sir Alex Ferguson's United.
