Liverpool striker Fernando Torres scored his 32nd goal of the season to give the Reds a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield.
The Spaniard has now scored in eight successive home league games which equals Roger Hunt's club record.
His 15th in his last 17 games shows the remarkable consistency of the front-man.
The winner came in the 58th minute when he cruised past Richard Dunne to beat Joe Hart with an angled drive.
The scoreline could have been even more emphatic had it not been for Hart tipping Steven Gerrard's curling effort around the post in the first half, and parrying Dirk Kuyt's volley in the second. Ryan Babel also blazed over from close range.
Much of the game had been dominated by City fans venting their anger at the likely sacking of their manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, but it was Torres who again stole the show.
