     CISSE SHOOTS DOWN 10-MAN ROVERS

  Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premiership as Djibril Cisse scored his first home league goal of the season to sink 10-man Blackburn Rovers at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

  The Reds bounced back from their defeat to Chelsea a fortnight ago with a hard-fought but fully deserved 1-0 victory in front of an anxious Kop.

  Despite the visitors being reduced to ten men earlier in the first half it looked like being another frustrating day for the hosts until Cisse sparked relief by netting the winning goal 15 minutes from time.

  The game erupted in controversy shortly after the half hour mark when Zurab Khizanishvilli brought Cisse down on the edge of the box and referee Mark Halsey, after lengthy consultation with his linesman, gave Blackburn's Georgian defender his marching orders.

  With ten-men Rovers content to sit back and hold on for a draw, the fans had to wait until the 75th minute for Cisse to score the crucial winning goal with a venomous low drive. The striker was overcome with joy at scoring and after celebrating wildly he took time out to run over and shake manager Rafael Benitez by the hand.
