Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam scored their first goals for Liverpool in a 3-1 win against Bolton, which see’s the Reds soar to the Premier League summit leapfrogging Chelsea in the process.
The summer signings struck either side of a Martin Skrtel goal to secure an easy home victory against the Trotters who scored in injury time through Ivan Klasnic.
Kenny Dalglish’s side dominated the match from start to finish and it was England midfielder Henderson who opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a sumptuous curling shot from 20 yards.
Jussi Jaaskelainen was by far the busier of the two keepers saving efforts from Stewart Downing, Daniel Agger and Dirk Kuyt in the first half.
Bolton had no answer to the home sides attack and two goals in as many minutes sealed the Trotters fate.
Firstly, Skrtel got on the end of Adam’s whipped corner to bury a header past Jaaskelainen in the 51st minute .
Barely 60 seconds later the Scottish midfielder went from provider to goalscorer lashing home from just outside the penalty area to make it three goals without reply to send the Kop wild.
Bolton, for all their endeavour, were always second best throughout the game and boss Owen Coyle will have to pick up the pieces of a second consecutive defeat.
Klasnic did manage to grab a consolation a minute into stoppage time finishing from close range but the day belonged to Liverpool and King Kenny who find’s himself on top of English football once again.
