Per ESPN's Soccernet, Liverpool dominated play in the first half but squandered one chance after another to put the ball past goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. On four separate occassions, Liverpool's efforts were denied by the woodworking before Benayoun's right-footed strike placed the Reds atop the Premier League.
Fans of the boys from Anfield were singing the team's praises across Twitter.

With the victory, Liverpool now leads Manchester United by two points and Chelsea by three. The Red Devils, however, still have two games in hand over the other two squads and can take back the top spot with a win over Aston Villa.
