Liverpool - Toulouse: Voronin wondergoal videos

August 16th 2007 07:55
Andriy Voronin


Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin has shown that despite strike partner and fellow new signing Fernando Torres has taken all the headlines since their arrivals at Anfield, he is determined to hog the limelight with his displays on the pitch.

And what better way to do it than scoring a sublime goal like this?



And now from a slightly different angle...



What a cracker of a goal! Here's hoping for many more to come from the Ukrainian's right foot this season...

Liverpool 1 - 0 Chelsea

UEFA Champions League


UEFA Champion's League: Semi-final 2 - 2nd Leg

RESULT:

Liverpool 1 - 0 Chelsea (Agg: 1 - 1)

Liverpool goes through 4 - 1 on penalties.

Here is a video clip of Daniel Agger's goal which cancelled out Joe Cole's winner from the 1st leg of the Champion's League semi-final clash between Liverpool and Chelsea.

The goal was brought about after Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was fouled by Joe Cole outside the penalty box.

Gerrard fooled the Chelsea defence by appearing to run up for a crack at the near post only to roll the ball into the path of the unmarked Daniel Agger for the defender to prod the ball home.

The might Reds went onto win 4 - 1 on penalties to book a place in the final of the Champion's League for the second time in three years.

I wonder what Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will be doing now on the night May 23rd?

Liverpool and AC Milan through to CL semi-finals

April 12th 2007 04:57
UEFA Champions League


Tues, Apr 3:
RESULTS:

Bayern Munich 0 - 2 AC Milan (Aggr 2 - 4 Milan)
Liverpool 1 - 0 PSV Eindhoven (Aggr 4 - 0 Liverpool)

SUMMARY:



Five-time European champions Liverpool and Italian giants AC Milan booked their places in the last four of the Champion's League with wins over PSV Eindhoven and Bayern Munich respectively.

Liverpool's place in the semi-finals was never under threat courtesy of the 3-nil cushion carried from the 1st leg, but England striker Peter Crouch made sure of the Reds' progression by scoring the only goal of the game in the 67th minute.

The goal was setup by Robbie Fowler AKA "God" with an exquisite swivel and pass into the box after the Anfield hero had come on as a sub in the 17th minute due to an injury to Craig Bellamy.

Peter Crouch scores against PSV


Although manager Rafa Benitez had stressed to his troops before the game to remain focussed, the boss had enough confidence in his team to leave influential duo Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher on the bench.

Without the talismanic captain on the pitch, the Reds lacked drive despite never having to step up a gear throughout the match.

Liverpool now faces Chelsea again in a re-run of the semi-final of 2005 in which the Reds went onto win the famous trophy.

England can now guarantee at least one of its clubs from the Premier League will reach the final in Athens.

Italian giants AC Milan defeated Bayern Munich in the other quarter-final tie to book a berth in the semi-finals against Manchester United.

Milan scored twice in four minutes from Filippo Inzaghi and Clarence Seedorf to win the game (4-2 on aggregate).

Liverpool dumps Barcelona out of Champions League

March 7th 2007 05:01
UEFA Champions League


RESULTS:

Liverpool 0-1 Barcelona (Agg:2-2 Liverpool goes through on away goals rule)
Chelsea 2-1 Porto (Agg:3-2)
Lyon 0-2 Roma (Agg:0-2)
Valencia 0-0 Inter (Agg:2-2 Valencia progresses on the away goals rule)

SUMMARY:



The Mighty Reds are through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champion's League after knocking out reigning European champions Barcelona at Anfield early this morning (AEST).

Liverpool proved too good for Barcelona over the two matches and the Spanish side's famed attacking quartet of Ronaldinho, Deco, Messi and E'too simply could not breakdown a resilient Liverpool defence marshalled by the brilliant Jamie Carragher.

Barcelona knew they had their work cut out for the 2nd leg when Liverpool visited the Nou camp and left with a win and two vital away goals a fortnight ago.

However, it was Liverpool who dominated for much of the game and had plenty of chances to settle the tie in the first half when both John Arn Riise and Momo Sissoko rattled the cross bar.

In a last roll of the dice for Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard, the Dutchman sent on Gudjohnsen in place of Thuram for the last 20 minutes and the move immediately paid dividends.

With Barca now effectively playing in a 4-2-4 formation, the Liverpool defence momentarily collapsed under the onslaught and allowed substitute Gudjohnsen to score in the 75th minute.

Liverpool were pinned back in their own half defending desperately but held onto progress through to the quarter finals by virtue of the away goals rule in what Jamie Carragher hailed as one of Liverpool's greatest European results.
