Liverpool beat Manchester United! Anfield Massacre Avoided!

It was the Liverpool side that emerged victorious here on 'Premier League Sunday' when two of the most decorated sides of the English Premier League met at the Anfield Satdium in Liverpool. Liverpool's Fernando Torres was the difference between Liverpool and Manchester United with his brilliant goal beating Manchester United goalkeeper Van Der Saar from a tight angle. Manchester United never recovered from that time on.

Prior to the game their were a lot of beach balls thrown into the ground as the fans were furious at Sunderland's Darren Bent's goal against Liverpool previously in the English Premier League. Even during the game the Stewards had to take care of the beach balls being thrown into the ground.



Liverpool looked the dominating side from the start while Manchester United remained subdued. Liverpool got good chances during the first twenty minutes but couldn't convert them to goals. They kept the pressure on United's goal till the half time which ended at a scoreline of 0-0.

After the interval, Fernando Torres struck in the 65th minute of the game beating Van Der Saar at the left goal post. That really spurred the Manchester United players up and from then on it was Manchester's United show with some flashes of brilliance from the Liverpool players as well. Anderson tried his luck from a tight angle but only managed to hit the crossbar.

At the 90th minute mark, the referee produced the first RED CARD of the game. Vidic was at the receiving end. Even Liverpool were reduced to ten men when Mascherano received his red card, But it was David Ngog who sealed the game for Liverpool with a very easy goal beating the Manchester United goalkeeper comfortably.

His first choice was the Italian club AC Milan. However, it is reported that Liverpool wanted to offer him a place in the team but Beckham refused to accept it!

He will return to AC Milan on loan and will try his level best to impress the England football coach Fabio Capello. Beckham's sadi LA Galaxy are currently at first place in MLS's Western Conference standings and have already qualified for a spot in the 2010 playoffs.

Liverpool's Beach-ball Drama... and Chelsea's Thrashing.

Liverpool's horror run of form continued on Saturday when they lost 1-0 to Sunderland in their English Premier League fixture. Sunderland went into the lead at the 5-min mark when Darren Bent's strike deflected off a beach ball(yes, a beach ball!) and beat the Liverpool goalkeeper. Despite repeated protests from the Liverpool players, the referee had no choice but to give Sunderland the goal. The fact that the colour of the beach ball was red and it must have therefore come from a Liverpool fan also would have hurt the players a lot.




The defeat was Liverpool's third in a row in all competitions. Without Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, Liverpool was not expected to play well, but no on e was expecting a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sunderland.

Despite some desperate efforts near the end of the game to earn a point, Liverpool were unable to do so and now seriously need to improve their football to have any chance of threatening Manchester United for the top Premier League spot.



Now if you are wondering why Manchester United and not Chelsea are at the top of the Premier League standings, then you need to know that Chelsea were given a good beating by Aston Villa resulting in a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the home team Aston Villa. Didier Drogba put Chelsea ahead in the 15th minute but two goals from setpieces by Richard Dunne(32nd min) and James Collins(52nd min) snatched the lead from the Blues and was enough to give Villa the win.

ManU now sit pretty at the top of the standings table of the English Premier League.
