Saturday AM, Liverpool played Fulham at Fulham in a key match in the Premier League. Of course, one could say that all the remaining matches are key matches, with only 8 left now and Liverpool still in the hunt for the title.
I watched as they simply dominated Fulham for 95% of the game (I don't believe Fulham registered a shot on goal in the first half). This is the same team that beat Man United a couple of weeks ago 2-0. And they're 8th in the table and haven't lost a game to one of the Big Four at home this season.
So they're pretty good at home.
Liverpool had something like five chances in the first half. Four misses from within the six yard box and a couple hitting the woodwork. Tremendous luck for Fulham. The game got quite nervous as we approached 90 minutes.
So I turned it off.
DVR and all that. Didn't want to ruin my weekend if they lost, so I thought I would watch it last night. One thing runs to another, and I had a really severe attack of allergies last night and went to bed early.
Got up this morning and watched the last nine minutes.
In the 91st minute, Yossi Benayoun wins the game for us. For the eighth time this season, Liverpool wins a game in the last five minutes.
Huzzah!
