Notes

  • - Torres, who had scored in eight successive home league games, equalling Roger Hunt’s 45-year-old record, failed to get on the scoresheet and take the record.

    - The Premier League's "Dubious Goals Panel" decided that the deflection of Carragher's shot was sufficient for the goal to be shown as an own-goal by Middlesbrough defender Pogatetz. However Liverpool Football Club's stance is that Carragher's goal remains with the Liverpool player.
