I'm still trying to catch a breath....wow, what a game it was. I've told ya that this isn't a game for the faint heart. Both teams finished with 10 men. Zabaleta was red carded while Skrtel was carried off injured. It looks bad. Watch out for news on his injury update.
Liverpool won again, it's 3 on the trot now, this time at the expense of City rich boys.
It's Istanbul spirit reawakened, down 2-nil at the break, Liverpool blasted 3 goals in the 2nd half to destroy City's spirit.
It was a game of 2 halves really. Liverpool's main actors Gerrard and Torres were largely missing in the first half but it Torres who sparked the comeback by netting 2 clinical goals before Kuyt sidefooted a loose ball high into the net. He couldn't have missed that chance, could he?
It could have been more. Kuyt missed an open goal early on while Torres was denied a hattrick by some peculiar bad finishing. Shocking. Thought that Keane's cross was little bit too heavy for him.
My MOTM? Hands down, it'll be Torres again. 2 goals and he had a hand in Kuyt's winning goal.It was his sweet strike that was deflected unto the Dutchman path for the clincher.
The Reds were resilient, they've now got character. That swagger of a champion.
Surely now, the charge towards the long awaited title cannot be dismissed anymore.
