Hopes of wresting the Premier League title away from Manchester United suffered a major setback as Man Utd got away from Anfield with a 1-0 win. Carlos Tevez's goal just before half-time settled a contest that the Red's dominated for most of the 90 minutes and could, with better finishing, have had wrapped up by the time the Argentinian claimed his ninth goal of the season.
This defeat means that the Red's now trail United by nine points and, while they do have a game in hand, their margin for further error in the title race has been significantly reduced. From the outset, Liverpool had looked the sharper of the two sides and the predictably robust opening exchanges were punctuated by a couple of decent half-chances for a side that was unchanged from the line-up which started the 4-0 demolition of Marseille in the Champions League last week.
One word to sum it all: UNLUCKY!!
