Goals by Fernando Torres(28'), Steven Gerrard(44', pen), Fabio Aurelio(77') and Andrea Dossena(90+1') helped Liverpool to launch a comeback and cut the gap between Man Utd to 4 points and rekindle their title hopes, although Man Utd still have a game in hand. Cristiano Ronaldo's opener came from a well-taken penalty spot kick on 22 minutes after Jose Reina had brought down Park Ji-Sung with a reckless and unnecessary challenge in the Liverpool penalty area.
I was almost ecstatic when I know about it. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the results. Liverpool positively outplayed their fiercest rivals as you can see in the live commentary and team statistic in the following link:

I was convinced when I saw the goals scored in the match (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Px6wN5GBdw). Liverpool did brilliantly and all the goals were perfect. Torres' and Dossena's goals came from long passes from the other end of the pitch while Gerrard's and Aurelio's spot-kicks were magnificent. They recorded a stunning win and put Man Utd consecutive wins to an end. Rafa Benitez also celebrates his 100th Premiership victory. Most important of all, Liverpool revive their faltering title chase.
This match is also :
- Liverpool's first win at Man Utd in 5 years.
- Rafa Benitez's first win at Old Trafford.
- Liverpool's biggest win at Old Trafford in 73 years.
- Man Utd's worst home defeat since a loss by the same score in 1992 against Queens Park Rangers.
- Man Utd's first defeat for 11 games.
- Man Utd's first game without victory for 25 games.
Did you know that Liverpool are officially kings of Europe, not Man Utd, Chelsea, Barcelona or AC Milan - and you can click here for the proof - as they top the European Power Rankings.
