What a happy day for Man U(I don't like them But its a fact!)! First, they narrowly beat Bolton 1 nil in the 90th minute. The win promoted them to the top of the table. Every Liverpool fan thought, they would not be top for long. A very wrong prediction...

Today morning, 4 a.m.(Singapore Time), Liverpool starts their game with Everton at Anfield. Stevie G was playing on his 250th match of captaincy. In the 68th minute, the Liverpool skipper smashed a beauty past Tim Howard. It looked as if Liverpool was about to overtake Man U and be victorious over their Merseyside rivals, Everton.

This was when disaster struck. Everton wasn't going to give up. On the 68th minute, stand-in striker Tim Cahill converted a Mikel Arteta free kick, his late header flashing past Pepe Reina. His header secured a deserved point for the Toffes. The free kick was badly given away. Yossi Benayoun clumsy challenge led referee Howard Webb to give the Toffes a penalty.

The main reason for the draw:

Martin Skrtel

The Slovakian defender may look like a toughie on the outside but he was caught out in his own world when he allowed a roving Tim Cahill to sneak past him unmarked to claim a draw at Anfield.

Replays showed how Skrtel lost his focus and did not realize the Australian had sneakily moved away from him and by the time he recovered, the damage was already done.

Fernando Torres

The Spaniard was back in the starting line-up to provide the firepower needed to ensure Rafa Benitez's rant at Sir Alex Ferguson would not go to waste.

Instead, the normally efficient and prolific striker scuffed a clear-cut chance in the opening 45 minutes when put through and failed to have the desire impact throughout the match.

Robbie Keane

The former Tottenham captain was his usual self.
Lost and confused.

A player renowned for his ability to run the channels and provide the link-up play between the midfield and attack has gone off the boil since arriving at Anfield, his boyhood club.

When Benitez hauled him off with Yossi Benayoun coming on, he mouthed a few words to himself and made his way back to the bench.

Why he was unhappy at being replaced was mindboggling because he hardly touched the ball the entire game!
