Joe Cole's dramatic stoppage-time goal earned Liverpool a 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers at Anfield here on Saturday that relieved the pressure on under-fire manager Roy Hodgson.
Liverpool looked to be heading for a third straight defeat when Kevin Davies headed Bolton into a 43rd minute lead.
But a superb Fernando Torres equaliser, his first in six games, levelled the scores four minutes after the break before former Chelsea midfielder Cole pounced in the dying seconds to give Liverpool a much-needed win. However, whether the three points gained will save Hodgson from the sack remains to be seen.
Hodgson went into the game with reports circulating that Liverpool's owners had decided the former Fulham manager was not the man to lead the club forward.
The reports claimed the Fenway Sports Group had actively begun the task of seeking a suitable successor and will remove Hodgson before the end of the season if they can find the right replacement.
