Rafa Benitez men took advantage on Chelsea’s home stalemate and took two points advantage in front of them.
Benitez decided to rest some players and kept Torres, Riera, Kuyt and Xavi Alonso on the bench.
Both teams had numerous chances into the first half but none managed to score.
Portsmouth managed to open the score just 7 minutes into the second half through David Nugent. Fabio Aurellio, one of the best men for Benitez, managed to equalize after a superb free-kick 7 minutes later.
In the 78th minute it was again Portsmouth who took the lead. Hermann Hreidarsson scored this time.
Kuyt draw the score again for Liverpool in the 85th minute from Torres pass. Both Kuyt and Torres have entered the field few minutes ago.
Everybody was expecting to end it in a draw but in the second minute of the stoppage time Benayoun found Torres into the Portsmouth area and the Spanish international headed into the back of the net.
Torres has won the game again. Rafa’s superstar proved again how important is for Liverpool. What a game!
