Manchester United beat Portsmouth 2-0 tonight and lead the Premier League table with 4 points ahead of Liverpool with one game in hand, 6 games remaining.
Liverpool drew 4-4 with Arsenal at Anfield the night before and again, another goal at extra time to earn them another precious point. Liverpool is indeed truly blessed with so many extra time goals scored to win or draw last minute in my memory to bring them to where they are.
I'm interested to find out if take away the goals scored at extra time, where will Liverpool be on the table this season today (71 points). Finding as below (EPL only) and does not take into account extra time goals which does not affect the standing:
23.08.08 Liverpool 2-1 Middlesbrough - Mido (70), Pogatetz (og 85), Gerrard (94) -2
05.10.08 Man City 2-3 Liverpool - Kuyt (92) -2
07.02.08 Portsmouth 2-3 Liverpool - Torres (90) -2
04.04.09 Fulham 0-1 Liverpool - Benayoun (91) -2
21.04.09 Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal - Benayoun (93) -1
Minus 9 points that'll be 62 points and today they'll be on 4th place, same points with Arsenal, which is not as bad as I thought it might be.
How about Liverpool's late goals in UEFA Champions League 2008/2009?
27.08.08 Liverpool 1-0 Standard Liege (Qualifying 2nd Leg) - Kuyt (118)
04.11.08 Liverpool 1-1 Atletico Madrid (Group Stage) - Gerard (pen 94)
The fans should be glad that they made it to quarter final before the journey was ended by Chelsea.
Anyway I salute the team for its fighting spirit and perhaps that's the reason why the fans love it so much.
