BPL - Everton vs Liverpool review

I posted it too late! here's my review on the Merseyside (or Miseryside, as the newspapers put it, referring the the luckless fortunes of the two rivals) derby match that was played last Sunday! (for those who don't know, the Merseyside derby is the famous fixture between Everton and Liverpool, who are cross -town rivals... hence the word 'derby'). anyway, I, as a die-hard Liverpool supporter, had the honour of watching the match 'live' (no, not in Anfield, but at home!), and the match was pretty exciting! here are some photos :





< awww, isn't that nice? an Everton supporter (right) helps an elderly Liverpool supporter down to his seat. how nice =)




















> The beginning of the match was largely dominated by Everton, but on the 11th minute, against the run of play that probably changed the whole course of the game, Javier Mascherano received the ball and took a shot at goal. the ball unfortunately hit Everton defender Joseph Yobo, and it was 1-0 to Liverpool. the match stewards deliberated much on who the scorer was, given that the goal was kind of weird, but eventually the goal was a Yobo own goal.






















< ahhh... the 'bromance' is going strong among the Liverpool players =)



































and finally, to add the icing on the top of the cake, out popped Dirk Kuyt to add a second goal in the 79th minute. scrappy goal it was, but hey, a win is still a win =)

all in all, this victory was even sweeter because all Liverpool fans can at least celebrate something, in lieu of the disappointments the past few months have brought. hopefully this win has brought into the team some self-belief, that despite all the bad performances, Liverpool are still the team to fear! ROCK ON, Liverpool!
