Liverpool are today’s Premiership leaders after beating Sunderland by a goal to nil at Anfield. Liverpool lost Dietmar Hamann a minute before the break for a two-footed tackle but an Emile Heskey header gave the side their three points.

Leeds remain in second place after a one-all draw against Aston Villa. Alan Smith received a red card and a three-match ban for an elbow on Alpay while Robbie Keane missed two glorious chances on goal.

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough and Ipswich shared out a goal-less draw.
