Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Liverpool
A goal in each half, courtesy of Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard, gave Rafa Benitez's men all three points at the Reebok Stadium.
The Reds went in front after 29 minutes when Kuyt scored with a powerful and superbly directed header from a cross from Fabio Aurelio. The Dutchman had earlier hit the bar.
The Trotters offered little in the first period, but must have felt unfortunate to have had a Gary Cahill header disallowed seconds before the interval after referee Rob Styles blew for a foul on Reds goalkeeper Jose Reina.The second half brought more Liverpool domination although Ricardo Gardner did miss a great chance to equalise when he slipped at the crucial moment. Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres also squandered good openings with the Spaniard hitting the post.
Gerrard wrapped up the points on 73 minutes with a glancing diving header from a cute cross by substitute Torres.
