Liverpool Make Statement

Sunday at Anfield, Liverpool broke their four-game losing streak by defeating Manchester United 2-0.

Fernando Torres returned from injury and put in 80 solid minutes on the pitch. Before being substituted, he scored a goal that put momentum in the Merseyside club's favor. David Ngog added an insurance goal in injury time.



Despite not having influential midfielder Steven Gerrard, Rafa Benitez was able to defeat his most hated rival and dramatically improve the club's recent from. Liverpool was already reeling from a midweek defeat in the Champions League to Lyon. But Sunday's result versus the Red Devils has given the club a much-needed boost in confidence.

Liverpool now sit fifth in the FA Premier League while Manchester United are in second place, two points adrift of Chelsea.
