Man U beat Liverpool again
Dec 16 – No matter which teams, Manchester United beats, it is always special when they beat Liverpool, more so if they did it in Anfield.
Carlos Tevez (pic below) scored the only goal of the match in Anfield two minutes before half time in a match which Liverpool dominated.
Liverpool had 60% possession of the ball, they ran up and down the flanks, they managed 20 shots compared with the Red Devil’s 5. Liverpool did everything but score. Liverpool could not capitalise on the two rare mistakes from Edwin van der Sar, the first occasion when Harry Kewell shot straight at Anderson while Fernando Torres headed wide in front of an open goal 6 yards away.
The 1:0 win over Liverpool stretched Manchester United’s unbeaten streak at Anfield to 6 years. More importantly, the win caused a killer blow to Liverpool’s title ambitions.
4 goals
Finally, Manchester United are showing signs of their firepower.
Carlos Tevez proved what he could do with a solo goal in the second-half to spark off Cristiano Ronaldo to score the second and third. Wayne Rooney headed United’s fourth in a rout of Wigan.
Next game at Villa Park on 20th October will determine whether the Red Devils have finally found their touch.
