Fowler scored in the 29th minute when Fernando Morientes kept the ball in play and passed to Fowler, who beat former U.S. goalkeeper Brad Friedel .
Blackburn complained that the goal should have been disallowed because Djibril Cisse was offside. The referee ruled Cisse was not interfering with play.
Liverpool is in third place in the league with 73 points, three behind second-place Manchester United, which has played one less game. Blackburn is sixth with 54 points, seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham and three points behind Arsenal.
