Reds cruise past Newcastle
08/03/2008 19:14 - (SA)
London - Liverpool piled more misery on
Newcastle United with a 3-0 victory at Anfield in the Premier
League on Saturday.
First-half goals from Jermaine Pennant and Fernando Torres,
his 25th of the season, and Steven Gerrard's effort after the
break strengthened Liverpool's hold on fourth place over city
rivals Everton.
Relegation-threatened Newcastle, without a league win since
December, have picked up just two points in the seven matches
since Kevin Keegan returned as manager in January.
Reading moved up five places and out of the bottom three
with a 2-0 defeat of Manchester City, while second-from-bottom
Fulham drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers.
League leaders Arsenal have the chance to forge a four-point
gap over Manchester United when they travel to Wigan Athletic on
Sunday.
