6-0 and we could have score more. It's good that we have 4 players on the scoresheet in an eventful afternoon, and yes, Derby was crap, but beating a crap opponent is one thing and winning 6-0 is another thing. This team is full of confidence and improving, and is a joy to watch.
Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 A comfortable afternoon.
Finnan: 7.5 Did well both in attacking and defending.
Agger: 7.5 Did well apart from a short moment of lost of concentration towards the end.
Hyypia: 7.5 Another solid display from the captain.
Arbeloa: 8 Did well in defense and attack, and was rewarded a first assist of the season.
Pennant: 8.5 A very lively performance especially when switched to the left. England's loss is our gain.
Alonso: 9.5 An almost perfect performance, starting with a nice goal that opened the floodgate.
Mascherano: 8.5 The destroyer of the match, his assist to the 3-0 goal to Torres is especially enjoyable.
Babel: 8 Opened his account with a beautifully taken goal.
Torres: 9.5 Scored two nice goals.
Kuyt: 8 Worked very hard and was unlucky not to have score one.
Substitutions:
Benayoun: 7.5 Created the second goal for Xabi.
Voronin: 8 Scored a tap-in from his acute sense in front of the goal.
Sissoko: 7 Solid when coming up.
Rafa: 8 An excellent result and he would be happy.
Derby: 3 Unless there is a miracle, we will not see them again next season.
Men of the Match: Alonso and Torres. Both scored two goals and it is difficult to tell who is better.
