German team beaten by Scousers!

Liverpool marched to a 3-1 first leg win against Bayer Leverkusen, despite the inspirational Steven Gerrard and sublime Fernando Morientes not playing and numerous injuries.

Many fans (including myself) had feared the worst, but we were being a tad pessimistic as ever.

Goals from Luis Garcia and John Arne Riise had the Reds leading 2-0 at half-time. Pretty astonishing, given their recent form. Close to full-time, Dietmar Hamann made it 3-0 and

Liverpool were coasting....Dudek had one of his lapses and allowed the German side to put one in the back of the net, making it 3-1. Still, it was a fantastic win - the Reds need to build on this.

Conversely, the sports websites and no doubt the newspapers are only talking about another matchthat ended up with the score 3-1. Arsenal lost abysmally to Bayern Munich. All we need now is for Chelsea and Man United to stumble a little ...no, I'm not bitter, honest! :)
