Yo soccer fans


If you an Liverpool fans, I must say ytd night is a night hat you will rememberred forever in your life.

Liverpool trashed Man Utd by 4-1 at Old Trafford which many didn't expect even The Reds to win it. This was the game that caught the attention of all the world and it didn't dissappoint those who spent their time watching it. Man Utd got the lead in just 23minutes when Reina was fouled, C.Ronaldo scored easily and things are looking gd for Man Utd. However, 5minutes later, A defense error by Vidic allowed Torres to had a 1-1 with the keeper and Torres scored easily. Just before the break, Ferdinand I think brought down Gerrard in the penalty and Gerrard calmly puts it into the nets and The Reds are 2-1 up.

If you though the first half was really exciting, then second half would be more like double the excitment from first half. Man Utd tried to attack but Liverpool defended very well and a counter attack by Liverpool in the 77minutes caught the Man Utd defense and Vidic carelessly brought down Torres, as Vidic was the last man in the back line, the refree didn't hesitate and immediately shown a red card. Aurelio took the free-kick and scored brillantly. Dossena got his second goal for Liverpool and first in BPL by scoring in 88minutes to seal up a big victory for Liverpool. Suprisingly is that, out of the 4 players who scored against Real Madrid in midweek, 3 of them scored again and was in the same order, Torres followed by Gerrard penalty and Dossena before the stoppage time.

Man Utd are now 4 points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand. Although Man Utd still had a healthy lead against Liverpool, but in ytd match, you can see the tiredness of the players. Man Utd are still on going for all competition, They still have FA cup semi-final clash against Everton, A quarter final Champion leagues and also the battle for BPL title, therefore, sometimes player stamina and fatigue might not cope with tight schedule. But bear in mind that Ferguson had all the experience in the race of trophy and he knows what the do when it comes to such a important period. I still believe Man Utd can walk away with at least the BPL title.

Arsenal move up to the 4th for the first time in 2009 after trashed Blackburn 4-0. Arshavin performance ytd was brillant and fantastic. Wenger rested Gallas, Van Persie, Eboue and Diaby and they were replaced by Djourou, Bendtner, Walcott and Song. Arsenal got the lead in just 2minutes when Bendtner and Walcott had a one-two pass at the right before walcott provides a low pass to the penalty box, Arhsavin goes for it and it somehow the ball touches Ooijer and goes into the net, Arshavin would have claimed the goal but eventually it was Ooijer own goal. Blackburn did a few chances but Alunmia prevent it from conceding. Arsenal had a scare when Walcott was down due to some injuries, but luckily, nothing much serious. Arsenal are one goal up ahead in the first half.

Second half saw an improved performance by Arsenal and Bendtner misses a dozen of chances, he had a few easy chances but failed to score each of them. in 65th minutes, Denlison sets off a low pass to Arshavin who was on the left which lots of space, he brings it in and goes over Danny Simpson with a bits of trick and curl it in to the right corner, his first goal for Arsenal. Arshavin had a few gd passes and unfortunately, none of them turns into goal. Bendtner, Nasri and Walcott was later being replaced by Vela, Eboue and Diaby. Eboue got a goal in 88minutes after he caught a rebound from Arshavin shot. Later Vela was brought down by Olsson at the side of the penalty box and Eboue converts the penalty into goal and socred his 3th goal in 3 matches.
