Result: Liverpool 2 - 0 Newcastle

Welcome to Anfield Dirk Kuyt. First league goal for Liverpool tonight for the Dutchman as he helped the side to a 2-0 win over Newcastle. Pity Xabi Alonso had to take the wind out of his sails a little bit, but boy did he do it in style - and nothing says style like a 65 yard strike, high over the falling body of Steve Harper and into the back of the Newcastle net.

Kuyt opened the scoring for Liverpool on the 29th minute, breaking through the defence to fire home comfortably past Steve Harper, showing the type of finishing that Liverpool have been missing in their strike force of late.

Alonso however, went on to steal the show scoring his first goal since January - almost an exact copy of the goal he scored against Luton in the FA Cup, also the last time that he scored.

Peter Crouch and Mark Gonzalez both made late appearances in the game (82,86) but the win was certainly most deserving and thankfully drives the club a little bit further up the table. Roll on Spurs at the weekend.
