Liverpool 3 Middlesbrough 2
Torres 28, 29, 61 - Tuncay 9, Downing 83
Back into the league, against Gareth Southgate's men back at Anfield. I was wondering whether Liverpool could manage to build on with their magnificent win over Inter Milan during mid-week. They are like 2 teams, one in the league, a different one in Champions League.
Boro gave us a scare early. They managed to score through Tuncay in the 9th minute. I on my television at the 10th minute though. Liverpool didn't look comfortable in the early minutes and were struggling to control the game.
It took a mistake from Boro's captain, Julio Arca for the home side to equalise. His header back to the keeper was straight at Torres who calmly dribbled past the keeper and into the net.
It's really nice to see Torres scoring again after his injury. Just hope he keep going scoring and that would probably help the team. His goal didn't stop there. He carried on scoring the second. What a shot!
We got back into the lead fast enough and honestly, we didn't really deserve to be. Well, that's football. You just need to take chances which Torres did. He got the match ball with his third in the second half.
It's pleasing to see Torres getting a hat-trick in the league. Boro managed to scored their second through Downing and gave them some belief in getting a point at Anfield. We managed to hold on with the help by the sending off of ex-Arsenal striker Aliadiere.
Mascherano raised his hand first but Aliadiere returned him with a slap. Lost his cool and that gave Liverpool some room to breathe and control the remaining minutes. A good win , 3 points in the bag. We need to keep winning and get as many points in order to fight for 4th spot.
WELL DONE FERNANDO TORRES!
You'll Never Walk Alone..
