| Dirk Kuyt struck twice as title-chasing Liverpool ground out a crucial 3-1 Barclays Premier League victory at Hull.
The Reds were given a rigorous test by the relegation-threatened Tigers, who were reduced to 10 men, but held on to keep the pressure on Manchester United at the top of the table.
Kuyt put Liverpool 2-0 up after a controversial Xabi Alonso strike in the first half but Hull battled hard and pulled one back through Geovanni after Caleb Folan was sent off.
But Kuyt sealed the win in the closing minutes from close range. |
