8 Mar 2008 Liverpool 3-0 Newcastle - EPL

BBC - The Reds went ahead with a bizarre goal, Jose Enrique's clearance hitting Jermaine Pennant and looping in. Fernando Torres struck his 25th goal of the season by slotting home from a Gerrard pass, before he sent Gerrard through for the captain to wrap it up. Newcastle's best effort saw Obafemi Martins hit the bar from 40 yards.

Rafa: "Both Torres and Gerrard are playing well and that is important for us. If they have the space, with the quality and pace they have, they can kill defenders. Torres' goal was really good, Gerrard and Torres have a really good understanding and the goal came at a crucial time because it almost killed the game off. That helped us play with more confidence in the second half.
