In the only Wednesday English "Premier" League match, the footballers of "Liverpool", who are currently in third place, achieved a great victory after a very unsuccessful previous week, defeating London's "Fulham" 5-1.
16` [1 - 0] Robbie Fowler
25` [1 - 1] Collins John
34` [2 - 1] Michael Brown (own goal)
70` [3 - 1] Fernando Morientes
89` [4 - 1] Peter Crouch
90` [5 - 1] Stephen Warnock
The hosts took the lead in the sixteenth minute - after Harry Kewell lifted a corner ball with his head, Luis Garcia "dropped" the ball to his teammate and Robbie Fowler, who returned to "Liverpool" in winter, led the hosts ahead. It was the first English goal after returning to "Liverpool" during the winter transfer window.
Just under ten minutes later, "Fulham" managed to equalize - during a quick counterattack, the Dutchman Collins John found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and did not make a mistake, sending the ball between Pepe Reina's legs. Just ten minutes later, "Liverpool" had a one-goal lead again, when Michael Brown scored an own goal, sending the ball into the goal after a cross by H. Kewell.
In the 70th minute of the match, Fernando Morientes started the rout of "Fulham", sending the ball into the visitors' goal amidst confusion in the "Fulham" penalty area. In the 89th minute of the match, the score became 4-1, when after a pass from Djibril Cisse from the right flank, Steven Gerrard "threw back" the ball, and Peter Crouch, at the right time in the right place, barely touched the ball and directed it into the empty goal.
Stephen Warnock scored the final goal in the "Fulham" net, hitting the fifth goal during extra time: after a defenders' mistake, Luis Garcia struck the ball towards the goal from just a few meters away, but his attempt was blocked by the "Fulham" goalkeeper. However, this did not prevent a goal for the visitors, as the ball bounced right at the feet of S. Warnock in the penalty area, and he sent the ball into the goal without any interference.
