Hull City 1 Liverpool 3

The fight goes on! After some fantastic football for the past weeks, this game was not one of them. It was not good football but a win is a win. At the moment, every win will be crucial and it doesn't matter how they come by. The win put M*n U*d under pressure but credits to them for coming back from two goals down to beat Spurs 5-2. Let's hope Liverpool continue to mount the pressure on them.

"Alonso does it!"

Like I said, the game wasn't fantastic. However, Liverpool got their goals and that's all that matters. Alonso opened the scoring from his ferocious shot from the rebound of his free kick. It came right at the end of the first half. It was a beauty but to start with, the free kick given was controversial. In all honesty, I would say Mascherano lost his balance before getting a kick.

"Flying Ducthman soars!"

In the second half, Kuyt scored the second and third goal for Liverpool. For his first, he headed in from close range. The ball was blocked from a cross to Skrtel who then has his shot rebounded off the ground to Kuyt. This goal was crucial. However, it was also controversial as the ball deflected off Leiva's arm to Skrtel.

"Yossi works his socks off"

Despite the second goal and down with 10 men, Hull did not give up and got their reward soon. After Kuyt's goal, Geovanni scored to keep Hull in the game. It was good play by Hull but it was also bad defending by Liverpool. Insua forgot to track back and left Geovanni all the room to score after a cross from Cousin. Reina clearly was angry about it as he continued to concede.

"Kuyt secures the win"

It sent some panic for Liverpool but they managed to end the game with a third from Kuyt in the 89th minute. This time though, it was a goal without controversy. Before that, Torres had a good header which struck the crossbar. It denied him his 50th goal for Liverpool. Hopefully he has saved that against Newcastle.

With this win, the hope will still be there. I am really pleased to see the team keep on fighting despite the games running out. It showed character. As long as it is still mathematically possible, Liverpool will fight and fight until the end. Even if M*n U*d win it before the last game, I hope to see Liverpool fight to win all their remaining matches. Come on, Reds!
