Fernando Torres and David Ngog struck as Liverpool downed bitter rivals Manchester United 2-0 at Anfield to give their season a much-needed shot in the arm.

Torres broke the deadlock on 65 minutes before Ngog added a gloss to the scoreline deep into injury time as United poured forward in search of a late equaliser.

Both teams finished the match with 10 men after United's Nemanja Vidic was dismissed in the final minute - for a third straight game against the Merseyside club - and Javier Mascherano was sent off for Liverpool in time added on.
