In another game of the weekend action, Liverpool scored their second victory of the current season as they edged past Blackburn Rovers by two goals to one at Anfield thanks mainly to Fernando Torres and Sotirios Kyrgiakos who scored two goals after Jamie Carragher put one in his own goal. After playing nine games in the 2010-11 season of the EPL, Liverpool find themselves in a miserable 18th position with just two wins and a total of only nine points.
