Aston Villa 0 - 2 Liverpool


Carra had a good game, shutting ex-Pool player; Baros out

A win against Aston Villa, another 3 points away from Anfield. We are climbing the league table steadily.

Carra had a great game, shutting Milan Baros out & making an all-important tackle early in the first half. If Carra mis-timed the tackle or failed to do so, it would certainly be a goal for Baros. We created many chances, but were once again let down by our finishing & good goalkeeping by Thomas Sorensen.

A controversial penalty gave us the lead through Steven Gerrard in the 85th min. Peter Crouch was supposedly pushed in the penalty box by Liam Ridgewell. It surely didn't look like a valid penalty claim, but these things happen in football. Gerrard stepped up to take the spot-kick & did so superbly, sending Sorensen to the wrong side of the goal. 1 - 0 to Liverpool.

Alonso secured the 3 points surely with a 20-yard drive in the 89th min to make it 2 - 0.

Yeah! What a good game! Xabi scored again! What a cracker! Sorensen always fumble shot, useless! But who cares?! Wonderful Nov for us so far!
