    Liverpool win a series of corners in quick succession to increase the pressure on the Newcastle defence

25. 20'

44. 38'

    ...but Owen blazes the bar over the bar with his weaker left foot. He should at least have hit the target, and really scored, but sent the ball flying over. The drought continues

45. 39'

    Gerrard goes down after a innocuous brush with Lua-Lua. The England man looks in real pain and needs treatment

46. 39'

    Meanwhile, it's been a good half for Liverpool but they have failed to find the breakthrough. If only Owen could find his shooting boots...

51. 44'

    Shearer gives away the free-kick for the challenge on Hyypia

52. 45'

53. 46'

    There will be two minutes of stoppage time

54. 46'

    Hyypia plays a long ball to Heksey on the edge of the box. Heskey chests the ball down and fires in a shot, but Given is equal to it

55. 47'

    Dyer feeds the ball into Lua-Lua in the box who turns and fires in the shot, but he can only shoot wide under pressure from Henchoz

56. 47'

    And there goes the whistle, a half very much dominated by Liverpool but with no end product. The Reds will be looking to find their shooting boots in the second period

57. 46'

    The second half gets underway

58. 47'

    Steven Gerrard has continued at the start of the second half after being assessed by the medical team

59. 47'

62. 49'

    Solano clips Heskey's heals as the Liverpool man looks to take the ball forward. Free-kick

63. 50'

    Now Solano goes in late on Traore. The Peruvian must be close to a yellow card

64. 51'

    It's getting a little scrappy at the moment as Speed trips Hamann

65. 52'

    Dyer and Speed have a blazing row in the centre circle after that tackle. Not good for the team ethic at Anfield tonight

66. 53'

    A booking for Hamann after he hacks Viana to the group very late

67. 54'

    Given clear the ball, but plays a poor ball for Solano. The Peruvian cannot control the ball and Hamann intercepts. He breaks into the area and here's a real opportunity...

68. 55'

    GOAL!!!!!

69. 56'

    Dietmar Hamann breaks the deadlock against his old side, calmly placing the ball past Given into the corner of the net

70. 57'

    Heskey picks out Owen on the edge of the box. Owen sees Given off the line and looks to lift the ball into the far corner...

71. 58'

    ...but Owen's shot drops just the wrong side of the post. Liverpool in real command now, searching for the vital second goal

72. 58'

    The atmosphere is electric in Anfield now, the Liverpool faithful anticipating a second goal

78. 64'

    Three substitutions for Newcastle here: Nolberto Solano is replaced by Jermaine Jenas and Lomano Tresor Lua-Lua goes off for Craig Bellamy

79. 65'

    The final change sees Laurent Robert replace Hugo Viana. A last-ditch bid from Sir Bobby Robson to change the course of the game

80. 66'

    Speed finds Robert, and Frenchman creates some space on the edge of the box and shoots...

81. 67'

    ...Dudek does well to push the powerful effort from Robert onto the post, but the rebound falls to Shearer who must score...

82. 67'

    ...but amazingly Shearer mishits his shot, and Hyypia hacks the ball away even though the effort is not on target

83. 68'

    Newcastle playing with renewed vigour now. Bellamy tries a shot from distance which is easy for Dudek

84. 69'

    A change for Liverpool. Vladimir Smicer goes off and Senegal star El Hadji Diouf comes on

85. 70'

    Free-kick to Liverpool. Murphy plays a fine ball into the danger area again and Heskey is umarked six yards out...

86. 71'

    ...but Heskey heads the ball into the ground too firmly and it goes over the crossbar. It should have been two

87. 72'

    Liverpool seemed to have weathered the storm after Newcastle's triple switch. Now can they find the second?

88. 73'

    Bernard concedes the corner after a fine run by Gerrard

89. 74'

    Gerrard takes the corner, but Dabizas climbs all over Hyypia. Penalty kick awarded by referee Graham Poll!

90. 74'

    Michael Owen looks to end his goal drought...

91. 74'

    GOAL!!!!!

92. 74'

    Owen sent Shay Given the wrong way and cooly fired the ball home. Given went right, Owen went left. 2-0

93. 75'

    The indiscretion from Dabizas has surely killed off Newcastle's hopes of a point now. It's a long way back from here

94. 76'

    Murphy goes to the floor under the challenge from Speed, and the Newcastle man is surprisingly cautioned

95. 77'

    It's another gem of a free-kick from Murphy, Owen is umarked on the six-yard box...

96. 78'

    ...but Owen just mistimed his run, making the header all the harder, and he fails to find the target

97. 79'

    Jenas trips Hamann, another free-kick to Liverpool

98. 80'

    Gerrard does brilliantly on the right, getting the better of Bernard, and this time his superb cross finds Heskey six yards out...

99. 81'

    ...but somehow Heskey manages to head the ball over the bar when it seemed easier to score

100. 81'

     A simlpe through ball puts Owen in the clear. His shot is well saved by Given but the ball comes back for Diouf...

101. 82'

     ...but Given stands big to deny Diouf. The Senegal star goes down under Dabizas challenge but it's no penalty this time

102. 83'

     Bellamy feeds Robert on the left. The Welsh striker takes the return ball and breaks into the box. Bellamy cuts the ball back to Speed...

103. 83'

     GOAL!!!!!

104. 83'

     Speed slots the ball past the disparing dive of Dudek, and Newcastle are back in the hunt

105. 84'

     Another foul by Dabizas, just outside the box, gives a shooting chance to Hamann. The German only manages to hit the defensive wall

106. 84'

     Bernard sends Diouf to the floor, and the Frenchman gets a talking to

107. 85'

     A change for Liverpool, Bruno Cheyrou comes on for Steven Gerrard

108. 86'

     Dyer twists and turns on the left and plays the ball inside to Speed. The Welsh midfielder shoots, but his effort is way off target

109. 87'

     Roberts finds Bellamy just inside the box, he tries to turn but Xavier is strong enough to win the ball

110. 88'

     Heskey plays the ball Owen, Given goes for the ball but drops it before grasping at the second attempt

111. 88'

     Real pressure from Newcastle. Bellamy wins the corner off Xavier

112. 88'

     Robert takes the corner from the left, and there's Shearer...

113. 89'

     GOAL!!!!!

114. 89'

     Dramatic scenes at Anfield, a superb cross from Robert and an equally fine header by Shearer. 2-2!

115. 90'

     Liverpool are paying the price for missing a host of chances. Is there a winning goal still to come?

116. 90'

     Bellamy speeds down the left before tapping the ball to Robert. Another sublime cross finds Shearer...

117. 91'

     ...Shearer's stab towards goal is saved by Dudek and he scrambles to collect the loose ball. So close

118. 91'

     Now Liverpool attack, it's a frantic finish. Heskey shoots, but sees his effort deflected behind for a corner

119. 92'

     The corner is disappointing and easily cleared

120. 92'

     One minute of added time to go

121. 93'

     Diouf looks to cross from the left, but's it's a terrible ball and goes out for a Newcastle throw

122. 93'

     And there goes the full-time whistle

123. 93'

     This fixture never fails to deliver goals and drama, superb entertainment and honours even

124. 93'

     Liverpool dominated for large periods of the game, but Sir Bobby's triple change worked wonders as the Magpies struck back

125. 93'

     Liverpool will rue all those missed chances, and at the death they could even have lost the game

126. 93'

     The speed of Bellamy and Robert in the last ten minutes blew Liverpool away and snatched a superb point. A great game for the neutral
