Fulham 0-1 Liverpool highlights: Yossi Benayoun’s last-gasp winner puts Liverpool on top

Published by Robert Nolan on April 5, 2009

Yossi Benayoun scored in the second minute of injury time to give Liverpool an important 1-0 victory at Fulham that took them top of the Premier League on Saturday and piled more pressure on defending champion Manchester United in the title race.

But Red Devils, who have stumbled to successive defeats in the league to arch-rivals Liverpool and Fulham, have two games in hand and host Aston Villa on Sunday.
