Gerrard Scores Hat-Trick

LIVERPOOL 3 - 0 TNS


Centre of Attraction - Steven Gerrard

Liverpool have made a winning start to the defence of their Champions League crown after a hat-trick from Captain Steven Gerrard gave them a comfortable 3-0 victory over TNS at Anfield tonight.

Rafael Benitez gave Jose Reina his debut in goal, though he had little to do. The not-so-flattering scoreline meant that Rafa might not be able to rest as many 1st team players as he had hoped for the return leg at Wrexham.

The second half saw another debutant Bolo Zenden, since he last played in the friendly against Wrexham last weekend. Some gallant defending from the Welsh minnows kept the scoreline at 2-0. Towards the end of the match, skipper Gerrard displayed his magical touch once again & made the final scoreline 3-0.

Long Live the Reds !!!
