LIVERPOOL VERSES TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS.

This match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs both the teams were well balanced ,But as Liverpool had sold Xavi Alonso to Real Madrid for a huge amount of 30 million pounds.The thought on every ones mind was the apsense of Alonso make a big differnce? And by the end it did make a difference as Fernando Torres was not fed well enough like in the old days and Rafael Benitz has no excuse for the poor show by Liverpools display. Robbie Keane had a total of four very good chances which he failed to take. But the goal did come in the end and it was the deffender Assou Ekotto who kicked brilliant ball like a cannonball into the net to scoore the first goal,till then Pepe Reina kept the score at 0-0, then afte4r the first goal scored by Spurs. Then in the second half Gomes ran from his line and brought down the new boy Glen Johnson who joined from Portsmouth, this lead to a penalty, and Stephen Gerrard scored it to draw Equal in the 56th minute. But the Joy was short lived 3 minutes later the new signng from Newcastle United Sebastin Bassong headed in the winner. Both the Spur goals were scored by deffenders.
But the big talkingt point here is was Sebastin Bassong legally allowed to play this match, as he was shown his second yellow card and should serve a one game ban, that is against Liverpool. The only possible reason he played was he was to be banned for Newcastle United game and as they have been relegated he was allowed to play. The F.A must look into it.In the end it was a poor show by Liverpool, hey were the only club from the top four clubs to loose their first game.
