Sevilla are three points behind Valencia in fourth after a goalless draw at home to Athletic Bilbao. But Manolo Jimenez’s men will probably be happy with a point having spent almost the entire second half with 10 men after Romaric was sent off for a professional foul.

Liverpool broke the deadlock with Blackburn after 19 minutes, Gerrard spread the play to Yossi Benayoun out wide left and, after the Israeli had maneuvered into the box, Steven Gerrard was back on the scene to slip in the opener. A cheeky handball from Jamie Carragher while grounded in the Reds’ box was seen by the officials, allowing Keith Andrews to bring Rovers level from the spot. But then Anfield saw the sight they’ve been missing for much of the season as Fernando Torres was able to restored Liverpool’s lead from a neat Maxi pass.
