Liverpool 4 Fulham 0

What a wierd week!Two 4-0 wins with the Maktoum takeover sandwiched in the middle.This week the opposite to last weeks game was achieved.Four first half goals last week and this week 4 second half goals with no reply in either.I wonder if this has ever happened before!Anyone out there know! I remember back in the sixties a reverse score against Spurs i think over the easter period, cant quite remember but i think it was 5-1 one game and 1-5 the other! let us know if you can remember!

Back to this week! A solid performance from Liverpool although Fulham held their own in the first half.There was a few scares in the Fulham goalmouth and a few shouts for hand ball in the box.Think the ref got them both right though so 0-0 at haldftime possibly about right!

Third time lucky in the second half though as again the ball was handled this time from a shot from Kuyt.Gerrard scored from the rebound after his poor penalty was parried straight back to him!The second goal was significant in that it was Jamie Carraghers first premiership goal in 8 years!!At this point it really was game over!
A third was to follow from the head of Garcia from a Bellamy cross and Mark Gonzalez made it four with the last kick of the game from a free kick!

The reds sit fourth in the table tonight and having secured a last 16 place in the Champions League it has been a great week.With Gonzale
z back from injury quicker than expected and Alonsos return all of a sudden the Reds look like their old selves lets hope it continues!
