Luis Garcia came off the bench to score a late winner three minutes from time against Arsenal.
Earlier in the game Gerrard had a penalty saved after 30 minutes by Lehman after Morientes was brought down by Eboue.
Morientes, Kewell and Riise all came close in the first half.
Lehmann began the second half in an equally inspired form, foiling Robbie Fowler, after the Liverpool striker’s first-time touch left Senderos flat-footed.
Just past the hour Liverpool went close with a Morientes header and Sami Hyypia’s clever flick that Ljungberg, who was stationed at the post, cleared off the line.
Garcia had come on 84 minutes and three minutes later he was the first to react as Lehmann was unable to hold Hamann’s powerful shot.
The win moved Liverpool 10 points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal
