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.

It was a close call, but out of the top 10 attempts listed below, it was Davexilly's ingenious rhyme (below) that won over the judges.

davexilly: Midfield shackles, many bad tackles, cards some yellow some red, but thanks to the flying dutchman, Liverpool fans dream in bed.

Here's the best of the rest:

dinnyhoon: Liverpool FC hold the bragging rights after victory the biannual Merseyside scrap, where a small amount of football broke out.
