Liverpoolfc.tv is pleased to announce the winner of the 'match report in 140 characters' competition held on LFC Twitter following Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Everton.
Dirk Kuyt's second-half winner inspired hoards of followers of the social networking site to summarise their joyous reviews of the events at Anfield, with the top Tweet winning a copy of this week's LFC magazine.
