West Ham 0 Liverpool 3

Liverpool move top! However, M*n U*d went back there after beating Man City comfortably. It was another good match for the Reds. Despite scoring three goals, it was not as easy as it suggested. West Ham fought for possession well and passed around well. However, the quality in Liverpool's side was enough to see them off.

"Stevie G inspires Reds"

With Gerrard and Torres starting together, I anticipated a good game for the Reds. I was even happier to see Benayoun and Kuyt playing. I believe these four starting together on their day is a lethal combination. When it was said this was only Gerrard's and Torres' 12th league game together this season, I can't help but to ponder the "what if's". What if they have played together more? I dare say Liverpool would have won the title by now. Then again, it is just a 'what if'. It might not turn out as we thought it will.

From the kickoff, Liverpool took the lead. In less than two minutes, Gerrard was put through by Torres to score the opening. He rounded Given and made no mistake in front of an open goal. With such quality from both players, it really scares me to think what would have been the story if they have played 2/3 of the season together rather than just 1/3.

"A brace for the man with grace"

Liverpool dominated in front of goal. However, West Ham were no easy opponents around the park. In the 38th minute, Torres was rightly judged to have been tugged on the shirt by Luis Boa Morte and was given a penalty. Gerrard took the kick but was saved by Green. However, the ball was not held and Gerrard rushed to put it in the second time.

"Babel shows he can score too"

Liverpool's third goal didn't come until the 84th minute. Babel who substituted in for Torres scored the third for the Reds. He too scored from a second attempt after having his first saved by Green. With this win, it put Liverpool back to top. However, Liverpool went back to second after M*n U*d beat Man City comfortably. Despite the odds are getting higher against Liverpool upsetting M*n U*d for the title, it is still mathematically possible. Thus, I pray and hope M*n U*d will lose their next two games. There seems to be some personal problems among M*n U*d's players in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez. Ronaldo was angry at Ferguson for substituting him while Tevez is bidding his farewell after being angered by M*n U*d's lack of action over his deal. Hopefully, these problems will affect their remaining games.
