Fernando Torres and David Ngog blasted Liverpool back into the title race with a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday. Torres returned from injury to fire his side in front with a Kop end goal midway through the second half. Substitute Ngog then wrapped up the points with almost the last kick of the game.
A second yellow card with minutes to spare for Nemanja Vidic piled more misery on United, for whom former Liverpool star Michael Owen featured as a substitute.
The only sour note for the Reds was the dismissal of Javier Mascherano, who received a second yellow in stoppage time for a foul on Edwin van der Sar.
