Two of the greatest rivals in English football met at Anfield on Sunday afternoon as Liverpool hosted Manchester United in the Premier League. The home side, under manager Kenny Dalglish, were confident of hindering the visitors’ championship bid, following an improvement in recent form.
United were missing central defence pair Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, and Liverpool looked to exploit that with some attacking play.
Their approach paid off after thirty-four minutes, when Luis Suarez set-up Dirk Kuyt to give them the lead. Kuyt then doubled it a few minutes later after a disastrous header back by Nani.
Liverpool’s dominance continued for the rest of the match, and Kuyt completed his first hat-trick for the club when he finished after Van der Sar fumbled a free-kick. Javier Hernandez grabbed a late consolation to make the final score 3 – 1.
The result leaves United top, three points clear of Arsenal having played one match more. Meanwhile, Liverpool have fresh hope of catching the top four, thanks to their memorable win.
