Man U vs LFC

It was yet another day of joy down at the red half of Merceyside. After demolishing Real Madrid with four goals, Liverpool fc did not hold back at Old Trafford. Liverpool made Old Trafford their home on Saturday, scoring yet another quadruple of goals. Going into this one, the pressure was all on Liverpool. Sir Alex Ferguson surprised everyone by leaving local players Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes on the bench. Not long after kick off, Park Ji Sung rushed into the Liverpool penalty box and was brought down by Pepe Reina. The penalty was given. Cristiano Ronaldo then slotted home the penalty coolly and Manchester United had their dream perfect start. Shortly after the goal, a high clearance found the ball in Manchester's half. Torres made Vidic look like a tortoise when he zoomed past Vidic, taking the ball, and scoring. This was a classic El Nino goal. Just before half time, Gerrard was brought down inside the penalty box and a second penalty was given. Gerrard put Liverpool in front with his penalty.

Soon the second half began. After an exciting first half, everybody had high hopes for this second half. Manchester came out fighting fiercely, desperate for that goal that could change the game. Instead, Gerrard again broke clear but was brought down by Vidic just outside the box. Vidic received a second yellow card and was sent off. Aurelio then stepped up and scored with his favourite left foot. Towards the end, a goal kick from Reina found Dossenna who lobbed the ball over Van Da Sar into the goal. All the Manchester United keeper could do was watch the ball go in. Overall it was a brilliant performance by Liverpool and a good win.
