Match Report: Liverpool 0 Everton 0 Liverpool had started well with some neat inter-changing, but Everton's more robust style soon had them in the game, and only a bodycheck by Sami Hyypia stopped Rooney in full flow. The chances continued to flow. Alex Nyarko tested Dudek from 25 yards before Tony Hibbert's ball put Radzinski clear, but the Canadian allowed Dudek the faintest touch and the chance was lost. Steven Gerrard dominated midfield, and one surging run saw him unleash a 25-yarder that flashed wide of Martyn's right-hand post. The first moment of controversy came on 33 minutes when Hyypia looked to clip Radzinski as the striker was about to surge away from him, but referee Steve Bennett refused all Everton appeals for some action. The ball was fired to the other end, Michael Owen's touch put Gerrard clear in the box and it took another fine save from Martyn to deny the Reds. A second moment of controversy saw Jamie Carragher look to handle in the box and Everton finished the half raging at referee Bennett. The pace continued after the break. Rooney got past three men and clipped a shot over the bar, while Gerrard cut in from the right to slam a left-footer inches wide. Then Bruno Cheyrou missed a glittering chance when he flicked a header wide of the far post from Anthony Le Tallec's cross. Martyn made another fine block when Owen looked to get a faint touch on a swirling Gerrard free-kick. Carragher was next to test Martyn, lashing in a low drive from the left that the keeper turned over the bar with his legs. For Everton it was another precious point in their quest to haul themselves away from a possible relegation fight. source: Ananova
