Maxi Rodriguez was able to strike a late winner for Liverpool as they dragged themselves out of the drop zone with a 1-0 away win over Bolton.

The Argentine finished off a lovely piece of work by Fernando Torres in the 86th minute to give Roy Hodgson's men a full compliment of points which allowed them to move up to 12th as the Trotter slipped back to 10th.
