Benayoun rescues Reds

Liverpool dropped two more points and fell further behind in the title race after being held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester City at Anfield.

After a dour first half the game burst into life five minutes into the second half when Martin Skrtel broke the deadlock with his first goal for the club. 
 
Emmanuel Adebayor headed Manchester City level on 69 minutes when he was left unmarked inside the box to head home Craig Bellamy's corner.
 
City turned the game on its head on 76 minutes when Stephen Ireland converted Shaun-Wright Phillips' cross to silence the home fans.
 
However, Liverpool struck back a minute later when Yossi Benayoun scored from close-range after David Ngog's shot was deflected across the face of goal.
 
The draw means Liverpool have only one of their last ten games in all competitions, while for City it was their sixth successive stalemate in the Premier League.
