The Reds were on top throughout the game and easily deserved to win. Pepe Reina didn't have much to do until the final minute when he stopped Carlos Salcido getting a consolation goal from close range.
Gerrard side footed home his second goal of the season on 64 minutes when a clever ball from Kuyt sent him racing into the 18 yard box for a one on one with the PSV goalkeeper.
Peter Crouch wrapped things up in the 88th minute after good work from Bolo Zenden who skipped past a couple of defenders before slipping a pass out wide to Luis Garcia. Garcia crossed for Kuyt who headed back across goal allowing Crouch to head home almost on the goal line.
