Liverpool FC bounced back in style yesterday when they beat Manchester United by 2-0 at home game. This was a shocker by Alex Ferguson’s men against their arch-rivals as they lost to Liverpool for the third successive time.
Man United manager Mr.Ferguson admitted Liverpool had been a wounded animal and were the rightful winners.
This Liverpool display was light years ahead of the miserable defeat against Lyon in the Champions League. After four defeats in a row the storm clouds had been gathering over Anfield.
Torres, who was playing after missing last two games, was trouble from the start and drew a foul from Patrice Evra which brought about the first good chance of the game with 15 minutes gone.
For all the home side were on top, Yossi Benayoun who had another good game did frustrate at times by choosing to pass when he should have had a go. Twice he refused openings by opting to look for a team-mate and the opportunities were lost. But he is one of Liverpool’s most creative players and rose to the occasion in Gerrard’s absence.
His pass to Torres for his team’s first goal on 65 minutes was an absolute gem as he split Evra and Nemanja Vidic. Torres was on to it, shrugged off Rio Ferdinand’s rather tame challenge and crashed his shot into the roof of the net.
Five minutes of added time were signalled, which proved enough for Liverpool to get another goal. The move started with Carragher winning the ball on the edge of his own area. Kuyt took the ball forward and fed substitute David Ngog, who coolly tucked his shot into the corner.
For Livepool this is going to be a season of many twists and turns in the title race.
