101 Dalmatians

Steven Gerrard 100 not out, Robbie Keane 1, breaking his duck, a huge monkey off his back.

Even Francis Ford-Coppola couldn't have written a better script for what transpired at Anfield last night.

PSV were no match for Liverpool, the Reds scored with their first real attack. Corner, SG, Torres, rebound, Kuyt, Issaksson, goal. That killed the contest.

And then, the stage is set for Keane. Torres provided the cross and a nice finish from Keane at the bottom right corner. The famous cartwheel celebrations was seen for the first time at Anfield and sure many will follow.

Torres was involved in all 3 goals. He was fouled and the ensuing freekick was Gerrard's 100th goal for Liverpool in front of the Kops. Perfect.

Liverpool could have scored more, Torres and Lucas late on was denied either by bad luck or some last ditch defending. Nevertheless, it was another solid performance from Liverpool.
2 games, 6 maximum points.

A perfect Hari Raya gift. Next, the Great Pretender, Man City away at City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday. A Manchester double?
