Knock Kuyt - Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham

Reds make up critical ground in the race
In line for the venerated fourth place

Rafa had honestly added to Red blues
Declaring Liverpool could not afford to lose

Inspirational win over Spurs at Anfield
Diligent Reds led to cuts being healed

Dirk Kuyt's early knock set the platform
Subduing the powerful and brewing storm

Rounding off with a retaken penalty
Sweeping up Bassong’s ill judged debris

Perpetual workrate and superior passion
Cockerels dispatched with brutal compassion

Howard Webb ruled out Defoe’s strike in between
Harry’s winless streak exceeds unlucky thirteen

Sixteen years since Spurs won at Anfield
Dirk ensures the formula remains concealed
