Peter Crouch, Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard netted after the break against lowly Sunderland to end a five-game run without a top-flight victory for the Anfield outfit.
Crouch’s strike - his fourth in his last five games - broke Sunderland’s resistance in the 57th minute, with Torres adding his 18th goal of the season 12 minutes later.
Gerrard sealed the win with an 89th-minute penalty after Jermaine Pennant was adjudged to have been upended by Nyron Nosworthy.
This win moves Liverpool to within a point of neighbours Everton in the race for fourth place and the final Champions League qualification berth, and retain a game in hand.
