"Liverpool" team is digging themselves a hole in the fight for the second place in the English Premier League. Yesterday, the winners of the UEFA Champions League unexpectedly lost 2-0 away to "Charlton" and complicated their positions. 2 - 0 42` [1 - 0] Darren Bent (from the penalty spot) 45` [2 - 0] Luke Young In the first half, "Liverpool" clearly dominated the field, but failed to create real scoring opportunities. It is worth noting that the attacking duo of Spaniard Fernando Morientes and Peter Crouch rarely threatened the opponent's goal. Towards the end of the half, the hosts took advantage of the situation - in the 42nd minute, Darren Bent, who broke into the penalty area, knocked down Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek. Although it was questionable whether it was actually a foul, the referee decided to award a penalty, which D. Bent successfully converted. Not long after, European champions who had already lost 9 times in a row in London, conceded the second goal - defender Luke Young scored accurately. In the second half, both teams had opportunities to score, but no more goals were scored. After this setback, "Liverpool" now lags behind the second-placed "Man Utd" club, which has 51 points, by 6 points, although having played one less match. "Charlton" climbed to 11th place with 33 points.
