Blackpool vs Liverpool- Bloomfield Road- January 2011.
There was a hint of the Torres of the old in this goal against Blackpool. Liverpool’s No.9 collected a superb pass from defender Martin Kelly and produced an equally superb finish.
This Ryan Giggs penalty vs Liverpool gave Manchester United the lead against their opponents in the third round FA Cup tie on January 9, 2011
The Giggs penalty came in somewhat controversial circumstances as Liverpool defender Daniel Agger seemed to make minimal contact with Dimitar Berbatov (see penalty video below), leading to several Reds fans branding it a Berbatov dive. Howard Webb was the referee who awarded the penalty.
This was also the first goal conceded by Liverpool with Kenny Dalglish as manager.
