Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

oh..yeah!! Hehe I was doing my happy dance when the final whistle was blown. This was totally such an unexpected win and that's what made it a much sweeter victory.
When Man U scored within the 3 mins after the kick-off. Smses from my Man u friends starts flooding in telling me to get ready for a trashing. To be honest, I was mentally prepared to get trashed too since we got no Gerrard, no torres and thay are only missing Ronaldo with Berbatov being a more than able replacement to get the required goals.

And then this happened:




I couldn't believe my eyes, finally the luck that have always been shining on Man U whenever we meet is back on us. From then on, I could see the Liverpool began to push on to get the winner. Alonso and Mascherano started to grew in confidence and began to control the midfield. Our new guy Reira start to terrorise the left flank with some fancy flicks and turns(I love it ;)) and Liverpool is starting to look like their old self. Not the duplicate team that has been playing in the last two games.

In the second half, Man U start to look lost and had to bear waves of attacks from the Reds. A major mistake by Ryan Giggs and the perseverance of Mascherano lead to the 2nd goal scored by Ryan Bable, our very own super-sub with 13 mins left. I was praying by then and was hoping that Man U will not get an equaliser. I guess it worked cause Liverpool left the field with 3 points and finally the curse of not being able to beat Man U is finally lifted and it was done without Gerrard and Torres. Guess we are no longer a two man team ;)

For those who have missed the match:



For all Liverpool fans out there(I'm sure you are feeling the same way at that time):




Enjoy the win everyone!! Savour it cause it has been a long time coming ;) YNWA!
