Sunday November 29
- FA Carling Premiership Attendance: 41,753
Liverpool (2) 2 - Blackburn (0) 0
Liverpool brushed aside rudderless Rovers with their second league win in a row to climb into eighth spot in the Premiership. The Reds dominated throughout, scoring twice in two first-half minutes to leave troubled Blackburn shackled to the foot of the table. An Ince wonder strike and Owen's fortunate second, leave multi-millionaire Uncle Jack Walker's rock-bottom Ewood Park outfit in big, big trouble
GOALS
1-0 Liverpool 30 mins Ince
a magnificent 28-yard right-footed pile-driver by the England midfielder, who buried his swerving volleyed effort into Flowers top right-hand corner, after Fowler had laid the ball off
2-0 Liverpool 33 mins Owen
a lucky rebound off Rovers' luckless 'keeper Flowers, as Fowler's initial shot was parried and the ball bounced off the striker's shin into the goal from close range after his follow-up effort had also been blocked
