Liverpool 3 - MU 1

For two consecutive nights, there were explosive matches that keep fans of EPL around the world heart pumping faster than usual. Arsenal had a change to be just a point behind Manchester United but the young gunners, with many of their star players injured, ruined the chance with a draw with Sunderland although the poor line call and referee decision were partly to be blamed.

Sir Alex was certainly a little bit more relaxing going to Anfield after seeing the goalless draw between Arsenal and Sunderland but he could not have imagined for the worst to happen at Anfield, with rejuvenated Liverpool side under the stewardship of King Dalglish, completely thrashed the visitors.

MU were outplayed by Liverpool and 2 goals by the workaholic Kuyt in the first half and another one in the second half completely silenced the MU’s fans at Anfield. You could only hear the Liverpool anthem getting louder and louder towards the end of the match. Liverpool fans were simply ecstatic with such a timely rejuvenation of their players, especially Stevie G, Suarez and the hat-trick hero Kuyt.

I guess many of the Liverpool fans were having a sleepless night after seeing such a vibrant play and King Dalglish is surely having a memorable birthday, seeing his players outplayed the leader.

Arsene Wenger who blamed the poor refereeing and line call for their goalless draw with Sunderland could have now breathed a sigh of relief but can gunners pull up their socks to get a 3-point for their following match? Wow…it will surely be another big match then.
