|
|
Steven Gerrard brace helped Liverpool ease past West Ham 3-0 at Upton Park, sending the title chasers to the top of the Premier League - for 24 hours at least.
The Liverpool skipper scored twice in the first half before Ryan Babel sealed all three points late on to keep alive Liverpool's ever-slimming hopes of wresting the title off Manchester United.
Rafa Benitez's side took top spot from United on goal difference, but the champions - who now have two games in hand - can reclaim that position with anything but defeat in the Manchester derby against local rivals City on Sunday.
Defeat for West Ham saw them fall behind in the race for a European place after Fulham had beaten Aston Villa earlier in the day to pull ahead of both the Hammers and Tottenham.

It was another good win for Liverpool but its still not enough to stop Man U from winning the title.
Plus a 'pool fan has bet me that they'll win the title so I have more than a passing interest in anyone other teamthan Liverpool winning it
