Liverpool win seven goal thriller

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge both netted twice as title outsiders Liverpool edged a 4-3 victory against Swansea in an Anfield classic.

Brendan Rodgers' side continue to be plagued by a poor defence but moved within four points of Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea after emerging victorious from one of the games of the season.

Henderson had the final word in his side's success, forcing home from point-blank range in the 74th minute after his initial effort had been saved.

However, Rodgers' former team played their part with a stirring away performance capped by Jonjo Shelvey's first-time strike and a brace from Wilfried Bony.

Loic Remy ended Newcastle's barren run with a dramatic injury-time winner as Aston Villa were defeated 1-0 at St James' Park.

The striker claimed his 12th goal of the season in injury time of a game the Magpies should have had wrapped up long before.

It clinched a first victory since January 18 and ended a run of five successive home defeats.

Remy and strike-partner Papiss Cisse had earlier wasted glorious opportunities to put Alan Pardew's men ahead in a game which rarely hit the heights, but the former's late contribution proved enough to seal three points.
