Another great day for the Reds with a stonking 3-2 win over Manchester City.
Again it was Owen who set the ball rolling when he took the roof off the Kop at 10 minutes with his 6th goal for the season.
Owen was dangerous every time he got near the ball and combined well with Heskey to keep City under pressure. With Fowler shortly to resume, the Reds will have the most formidable strike force in the League.
It was a great all-round effort from Liverpool, starting from Rigobert Song in defence, Nick Barmby in midfield, and then the Heskey-Owen combination. But it was the mid-fielder, Dietmar Hamman, who puts us up 2-0 early in the 2nd half with a lethal strike from the edge of the penalty area.
Shortly after this momentous occasion I began to experience Net congestion. Somewhere among all this Manchester City scored their 1st goal. I finally managed to re-establish my connection at about the 80 minute mark only to hear Manchester City get awarded a penalty right in front of the Kop. Suddenly it was 2-2. Shades of the Southampton collapse.
But within a couple of minutes it was Dietmar Hamman (again!!!!) and we were back in front.
Liverpool 3
Manchester City 2

newcastle? do we play them in the cup? are they still in the premier league? i have hardly heard a wimper out of them the past couple of years... please do also remember man. city beat leeduka at ellend rd during the week and david oleary praised their efforts in the win... Great result for the reds.... in the past couple of years we may have lost a game like this at home, but we have turned the corner....

Just a little note on Heskey, for the benefit of Where's Kent Butcher.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. At about the 20 minute mark against Manchester City, Heskey cleared a certain goal right off the line. I think you'd have to say that stopping the opposition from scoring a certain goal is just as valuable a contribution as scoring a goal yourself.
