Liverpool salvages 2-2 draw vs Hull City, keeps slim lead over Chelsea
Posted by ednathan on December 19, 2008 · 1 Comment
Captain Steven Gerrard once again came to the rescue for a Liverpool side that went two goals down in the first half in their fixture against Hull City at Anfield last Saturday. Despite the disappointing finish, it was enough to keep them top of the Barclays Premier League as chief rivals Chelsea suffered a similar result against West Ham United barely 24 hours later.
In fact, all of the dubbed ‘Big Four’ clubs in the premiership failed to snare maximum points in their respective matches in the weekend. Manchester United, which closely follows Chelsea at third place, was held by Tottenham Hotspur, not the best of results leading to their stint in the FIFA Club World Cup in Tokyo this week. The same goes for inconsistent Arsenal, which paved way for Aston Villa to snatch the crucial fourth spot from the Gunners.
Liverpool has Gerrard to thank for after the inspirational midfielder almost single-handedly lifted the Merseyside club back in the game which was clearly dominated by the Tigers in the early goings. The Reds almost completed an amazing turnaround but failed to capitalize in their many chances in the second half.
Liverpool is set for a massive encounter against Arsenal in the final weekend fixtures before Christmas Day. A victory would secure them top of the league and a needed breathing space between them and Chelsea, which has been ripped lately for their poor form.
