Liverpool consolidate their grip on the fourth position with a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Royals. Liverpool did not have it easy and they have to come back from a goal down. Reading got in front just after 4 mintues with a superb shot outside the box from a free-kick. When the ball flew into the net, I was thinking maybe it was one of those days when Liverpool got "chocked".When Mascherano scored the equalizer and his first goal for his club, normal function was resumed. It was Liverpool with most of the attacks but just could not find a way past Reading's defence.
The first half ended 1-1. However, it was 2-1 after 55 mintues when Torres headed home his 20th goal of the season. He was quick to evade his marker and rose first to Gerrard's free kick. With Torres in such red hot form, it was unwise to bet against him scoring. Liverpool tried to find the third goal to kill to game off but it was not to be.
It was left to Everton to keep the heat on Liverpool but they crumbled away to regelation threatened Fulham 0-1. Liverpool is in the pole position to achieve the fourth spot.
