Liverpool Goes Down On The Road To West Ham United




Hammer fans had plenty of reasons for blowing bubbles today as their team took out EPL giants Liverpool 3-1 today. It seemed like the Reds had a bit of a cup hangover from their Europa League match earlier this week that saw them get off to a slow start sunday on the road. But give full marks to the Hammers for taking advantage of this a making Liverpool pay for their lack luster play by scoring mid way through the first half. West Ham would score again right before half time putting their opponents in a deep hole to try and climb out of in the second half. Liverpool was able to get one past Robert Green amidst cheers of USA from the Liverpool supporters behind the West Ham goal tender. But all hope for a draw was smashed when Hammers striker Carlton Cole scored his teams 3rd goal in the 89th minute to seal the win for West Ham moving his team out of the drop zone for the time being and all but dashing Liverpools Champions League hopes for next season. Liverpools next match is this coming sunday when they take on EPL leader and rival Manchester United at home.

Goodnight from the greatest sports city in the world and congratulations to Carling Cup winner Birmingham City
