Liverpool Stomp On Aston Villa

Well the title race absolutely is not over, as Liverpool confirmed through their 5-0 drubbing of Aston Villa at Anfield, which also saw Steven Gerrard score his first Premiership hat-trick. Liverpool were brought to within one point of league leaders Manchester United, and given Liverpool’s last three results compared to the current champions last three matches, I would have to say Liverpool may yet just come out on top.
United haven’t played well in weeks now, despite their victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League, the performances were poor and uninspired from every player on the pitch. The same story when Liverpool trounced United 4-1 at Old Trafford, and once again the same story as United went down at the hands of Fulham 2-0 on Saturday.
Not to mention the fact that Rafa Benitez said after Liverpool’s massive victory, that the Reds have much more to offer than what’s been on show recently. And I have to say, I never thought, that when United went seven points clear at the top, Liverpool would ever have a chance at winning the league this season.
But now, everything comes down to the International break. Sir Alex Ferguson has a good two weeks to get his players back into winning shape, before Manchester United find themselves well and truly out of the title race, and so near the finish line.
