The experienced shot-stopper inexplicably turned an effort from Steven Gerrard into his own net after 11 minutes and the hosts never recovered.

Ryan Babel and Fabio Aurelio extend Liverpool's lead before Tamir Cohen pulled a goal back in the closing stages.

Bolton could have been two goals to the good inside the opening 10 minutes as El-Hadji Diouf's free-kick beat goalkeeper Jose Reina only to come back off the post, while Gerrard cleared Joey O'Brien's goalbound effort to safety.

Liverpool made the breakthrough in bizarre fashion after 11 minutes when Gerrard's effort appeared to be going wide, however Jaaskelainen made a hash of it and inexplicably turned the ball into his own net.

Jaaskelainen redeemed himself in the 18th minute by turning over a rasping drive from Babel after he had latched on to a good ball from Gerrard.

Liverpool were in the ascendancy and it was little surprise they extended their lead in the 59th minute.

Jamie Carragher whipped in a cross from the right and found Dirk Kuyt only for his smart volley to come back back off the post. Gary Cahill got the ball away but only as far as Babel, who swept his effort beyond Jaaskelainen.

Liverpool made it 3-0 in the 75th minute with a superb strike from Aurelio when there seemed little on.

Bolton to their credit, however, refused to lie down and pulled a goal back four minutes later. Cohen, son of former Liverpool favourite Avi, ghosted in to head home a corner from Matt Taylor.
