Fernando Torres struck twice in three minutes as Liverpool comfortably eased past Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Torres slid home Robbie Keane's cross after 59 minutes then pounced on a loose ball to score from close range after Phil Jagielka tackled Dirk Kuyt.
Tim Cahill had Everton's best chance after 13 minutes but mis-kicked from Mikel Arteta's corner.

Goals from Carlton Cole and Matthew Etherington secured victory for West Ham at Fulham, who were also reduced to 10 men in an awful three-minute spell.
Cole opened the scoring, tapping the ball into an empty net on 43 minutes following Etherington's low cross.
Etherington made it 2-0 two minutes later, latching onto Mark Noble's pass.
And Fulham's Andy Johnson was then sent off in first-half injury-time, before Danny Murphy pulled one back from the penalty spot on the hour mark.Fulham: Schwarzer, Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Gera, Murphy, Bullard, Davies, Johnson, Zamora.

A controversial penalty scored by Cristiano Ronaldo set Manchester United on their way to victory over Bolton.
Ronaldo put United ahead after referee Rob Styles awarded United a penalty even though Jlloyd Samuel's tackle on the Portuguese winger was a fair one.
The incident proved decisive because up until then United had been thwarted by Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Wayne Rooney curled in United's second after a Ronaldo back-flick as Bolton were left seething over the penalty.
The incident could spark renewed debate about video technology but in all honesty the official should never have given a penalty.

Jonas Olsson's scrappy second-half strike handed West Brom their first away win of the season.
It was a happy return to Boro for West Brom boss Tony Mowbray, who played for the club for nine years.
The hosts were not without chances, with Afonso Alves hitting the bar and a David Wheater header also going close.
The winner came from a Jonathan Greening corner, and after Ishmael Miller hooked the ball back in, Sweden's Olsson poked the ball home.Middlesbrough: Turnbull, Hoyte, Huth, Wheater, Taylor, Aliadiere (Adam Johnson 60), O'Neil, Shawky (Digard 60), Downing, Alves, Mido.

First-half goals from Christopher Samba and Roque Santa Cruz saw Blackburn inflict a fifth successive defeat on a beleaguered Newcastle.
Defender Samba headed in Carlos Villanueva's free-kick from close range to give Blackburn a deserved lead.
And Cruz doubled the score when he headed home Brett Emerton's cross.
Newcastle produced a spirited fightback after the break and scored through a Michael Owen penalty but Geremi missed a great chance to equalise.Newcastle: Given, Bassong, Taylor, Coloccini, Cacapa, Geremi (Ameobi 71), Butt, Duff, N'Zogbia (Edgar 82), Xisco, Owen.

| Bookings: Griffin 56 Cresswell 67 | Bookings: Malouda 56 |
Chelsea saw off Stoke to rack up their sixth Premier League away win in a row and return to the top of the table.
The visitors dominated the first half and Jose Bosingwa latched onto a fine Frank Lampard pass to crash the ball in via Danny Griffin for the opener.
A spirited Stoke side rallied after the break and Leon Cort had a towering header cleared off the line.
But Chelsea wrapped up the win when Nicolas Anelka fired home after a terrible blunder by Cort.
Deprived of the considerable goal threat of Rory Delap's long throws because of a hamstring injury, Stoke were outclassed for most of the first half but until Anelka's late strike they were always a threat from set-pieces.
