Liverpool started the match brightly and took a deserved lead courtesy of an impressive free kick from Philippe Coutinho, who curled a strike over the wall and beyond Wayne Hennessey to make it 1-0.
Benteke pounced right on the stroke of half time, the Belgian thumping the ball home from close range after being lined up in front of goal by Yohan Cabaye.
Liverpool were hit by a suckerpunch in the 74th minute when they failed to clear an Andros Townsend corner, allowing Benteke to nod the ball beyond Simon Mignolet and into the net.
