While the majority of the morning headlines will focus upon Owen's timely return to form, the England striker insists that 24-year-old Kewell is deserving of much of the credit for the crucial victory.
Owen said: "I didn't have a good record in the derby until the last couple of years so it's nice to score today, especially here.
"The only thing we've been lacking is the final ball, a cross or through-ball - and Harry's great through-ball started it off here and it continued from there.
