sweet victory over bitter oppponents

Liverpool have registered a well earned 2-1 victory over historical rivals Manchester United. I feared the worst when Tevez scored real early for the Mancs to lead. It was worse as i was still in the office, and not being able to follow the action.

Thankfully, live updates from Livescore and Uerosport websites allowed me to consistently keep tabs on the ongoings.

A dodgy own goal allowed us to get back on level terms.
Van Der Sar pushed the ball onto Wes Brown's shin, and with Riera pressuring, there was no outcome then back into his own goal.

GAME ON!!

The second half belonged to us. The Mancs were pushed back, and could not cope with the pace. Eventually, we scored to go ahead with Keane, Kuyt and Babel combining quite nicely to put the Reds ahead.

The Mancs could not catch up, and when Vidic was sent marching with a second bookable offense, it was over! The Reds hung on to claim a famous victory against a side that not only beat us since the last 3 years, but against the defending champs.

Some of my MU fan friends, were gracious in accepting defeat, but for a couple of them, here's a message...: Hardip, n Naresh: Glory Glory who?? yeah right. At least sms when losing also la. Not just send "nyeh nyeh' message when claiming victories..

Oh yeah, to think that we played attacking footie, without our 2 top stars. It can only get better from here.
