Result: Liverpool 3 - 0 Tottenham

Ah…. brilliant.

Thats how I’ll open this one up. Brilliant.

Absolutely delighted at the result, figured there would be a goal coming in the second half after the performance we had in the first, but never expected to see three of them - and certainly never expected the screamer from John Arne Riise, Andy Gray struggling for words or adding up the yardage on that one.

Solid performance in the first half with a few chances, and a few hair moments. Everyone on the pitch looked on form, Gonzalez in particular, though he was a little starved in the latter stages of the first half. Thank God he was there in the second half though. Still waiting for that Bellamy goal in the league, which almost came on the 63rd minute only to hit the post from 3 yards out before Gonzalez buried the rebound from a tight angle. Lucky it was scored when it was as only 60 seconds previous we should have been a goal down but for poor finishing.

Once the goal went in though, the team didn’t slow down and went on in search of the second, eventually coming through Dirk Kuty who latched on to Garcia’s threaded pass, gave the ball a deft flick to tee himself up for a rocket through the back of the net. Bad timing on the part of the Spurs defence though and bad awareness from Paul Robinson who was too busy thinking that Kuyt was offside than to protect his goal, allowing the Dutchman to rifle past him with ease.

Then, just as you think its safe to start into a 2-0 match report, up pops John Arne Riise from around 35 yards out, takes the ball on the outside of his left boot and unleashes a screamer past Paul Robinson, low and to the right.

Fantastic stuff by Liverpool, two league wins on the trot and good momentum going into the midweek clash with Galatasaray.
