Liverpool 2 Manchester United 0
Following a humiliating 4 defeats in a row (our worst losing run in over 22 years) Liverpool had to face Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. I was not confident!
As it happened I was flying back to Liverpool on Saturday morning to visit family for the weekend. I was sitting next to two French guys on the flight and it turned out that they were in a party of 6 going to the game and they had 7 tickets – well by the time I was clearing passport control I had a ticket for the match!
Huge sellout crowd as expected but you could sense that the Liverpool fans were not as confident as usual even if they were putting brave faces on it, given the controversy about the beachball the previous week I was not surprised to see this guy outside the ground before the game

And the Liverpool fans in the Kop were not going to be left out either

You'll Never Walk Alone
The first half was rubbish by both sides and at half time it was 0-0, however a bit of magic by Torres gave Liverpool the lead in the second half and after a nerve racking last 10 minutes Ngog gave secured the win with a second in the last few minutes.
As you can probably see from Pepe Reina’s position on the pitch, he was fairly happy with the goal!

Massive celebrations afterwards as you can imagine
Final Score
Always great to beat the Mancs! Unfortunately back to the same dismal performance a week later losing 3 – 1 away to Fulham.
