2-0 and this is a well deserved victory. We controlled the game from the first minute and there was only one team who is trying to win the game. It looks like we will get another draw, but at the end two find strikes from Fernando Torres sealed us the victory, and we are back in the race for the title.
One major talking point of the game would be the red card. It did look like a red card when Lampard committed this foul, and without the aid of slow motion, the referee made a mistake, and the red card should be rescinded. But no matter what, one team is going to win the game, and it is Liverpool.

It is unfair to say, as in certain news report, that the situation changed because of the red card. In 1st half we were more aggressive side even though we had lesser possession. In 2nd half we were in total control. So we deserve the win, with or without the sent off.
Liverpool deserved the win. That was obvious and full credit to them. Yes, the red card made a difference, but I think Liverpool would have won anyway.
Really like the site by the way, would you be able to email me when you get the chance?
Cheers
