Maxi Rodriguez scored a hat trick as Liverpool ran riot at Anfield. It was the first time that Liverpool FC had scored more than 3 goals in a game this season and there was no better team to do it against. The Reds had drawn the last seven games against Birmingham City and they put that right in emphatic fashion.

Liverpool shared the spoils at the Emirates Stadium after a controversial ending to the game. Eight minutes of injury time were added on because of Jamie Carraghar's accidental KO after a clash of heads with team-mate John Flanagan.
