They still want the second place

Liverpool FC got their seventh straight victory in the English Premier League, beating Blackburn 1-0 Sunday on Robbie Fowler's fourth goal in five encounters.

Robbie Fowler scored in the 29th minute when Fernando Morientes kept the ball in play and passed to him, who beat Brad Friedel.

Then we saw Blackburn complaining that the goal should have been disallowed because Djibril Cisse was offside. The referee ruled Cisse was not interfering with play, however.

In fact, Friedel kept Blackburn from falling further behind when he pushed Cisse's shot over the bar in first-half injury time.

Liverpool is in third place in the Premier League with 73 points, three behind second-place Manchester United, which has played one match less. Blackburn is sixth with 54 points, seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham and three points behind Arsenal FC.
