Liverpool 0-1 Manchester United

[this is my 111th post!!! yay!!! LOL]

so anyways, again, at Anfield, in front of the Kop, United got the ball in the back of the net. The game was pretty even, but (as Sir Alex said it's typical of the derby) it was pretty much the battle of the midfield. It's like 80% of the match was played there. The best thing is, Anderson and Hargreaves controlled that field! They were amazing!! True, Liverpool might have more or better chances. Van der Sar made silly mistakes a couple of times and Anderson and Evra had to clear off the line.

A couple of minutes before half time, United got a corner, Giggs stepped up. The box was packed with both red shirts and black shirts. Then he spotted Rooney lurking outside of the box, unmarked. Giggs passed the ball, Rooney went for it and hit it first time. It was a decent, powerful kick, but it was running wide. Tevez stood there, had a simple touch of the ball and it flew to the top of the goal.

moment of the match: Rooney went chasing the ball, Reina had it outside of the box. Rooney went for it and the ref said he fouled him. He was walking down the right flank where Liverpool fans taunted him. Roo, being a true red, had a go at them, and kissed the badge on his shirt in front of thousands of Scousers....
