Steven Gerrard grabbed the winner in the fourth minute of injury-time to give Liverpool a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough at Anfield.

Boro looked like they were going to win for the first time at Liverpool since 1976 when Mido put them ahead with 20 minutes left.

But first Jamie Carragher had a drive deflected into the net by Emanuel Pogatetz with five minutes of normal time left, before Gerrard grabbed the points.
