Unfortunately the ball wasn’t recorded as the goal scorer, as Bent claimed his eighth of the season. But on the plus side it wasn’t blamed for the incident from reds boss Rafa Benitez either. He said, “We didn't’t play well, that is the main thing for me. “These things happen, we need to improve.”
The most humorous part about the whole incident was that it was a Liverpool fan who had hit the beach ball onto the pitch in first place.I hope for his sake he is as far away from the red side of Merseyside as possible. Also Sammy Lee`s attempted to find out if there was a law to disallow the goal. What was he expecting? Who in there right mind would of come up with a rule like that? A for effort though Sammy.
Liverpool now lie eighth in the league, and already trailing leaders Manchester United by seven points. With only nine games gone there is still along season ahead, but while Liverpool are not performing well and dropping points, United are taking points with or without a great performance. That’s what wins you trophies. Even if you’re not firing on all cylinders you still dig deep to get the points. Something that isn't’t happening at Liverpool at the moment, something that they seem to do in the champions league, but not the premiership.
Manchester United are on route in taking over Liverpools record of 18 league titles. I would of thought that Liverpool would of defended their honor a little bit more gracefully.
