ya, title tells again, Liverpool win it convinvingly against a demoralising Aston Villa side, who has nt won in the last 7 matches.
Liverpool started the tempo once again, just like against Real Madrid and Man U. and within 8 minutes, the 1st goal is produced. Gerrard unleashed a free-kick and Alonso is the 1st to meet it but struck against the post. Kuyt react fastest and shoot a verocious volley. 1-0 to Liverpool.
Aston Villa somehow never give up, they created a very good few chances, especially Carew, producing many good headers. but Reina was on his task, saving quite of it. but no denying Liverpool as they reached a 2nd goal in 33rd minute. Reina 80 yards long goal kick bounce to the Aston Villa area where defenders r guarding Torres heavily. in comes Riera, who shoots it with a absolute wonderful volley. struck underneath the post and went in. 2-0 now.
Aston Villa by now r kind of given up and Liverpool r pushing forward more and more and just 6 mins later, Riera controls a cross from Kuyt sweetly, goes into the penalty box but Reo-Coker stretches his leg out. Riera goes down. Referee points to the spot. up comes Gerrard, GOAL. bottom right corner. 3-0 and half time comes.
2nd half started again with Liverpool applying the sort of pressure again and within 5 minutes, they are awarded with a free kick after Cuellar pinned down Kuyt. Alonso lays off to Gerrard who shoot it with little power but sweet to the same bottom right corner where Friedel had no chance to save it. 4-0 now. game over for sure.
Yet, Liverpool still pushing up and in 65 minutes, Gerrard pass found Torres, who had an off game. he dashes, passes by Reo-Coker but was fouled by Freidel, who actually was squeezing himself not to get any contact. but ref give him a red card. harsh to be in fact cause Torres was looking for the penalty but ya. a bit pity for Freidel. Guzan comes up for Reo-Coker. Gerrard again from the penalty spot.
GOAL! same place, bottom right corner, Gerrard 1st ever Premier League hat-trick! 5-0. 1 point behind Man U, superior goal difference of +33, more than any clubs. the most attacking football team with 54 goals scored. next up is the one that help us beat Man U, Fulham at Craven Cottage. can we avoid it?
