Every Second Counts

Liverpool managed to grab hold of a lifeline to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup. Their victory didn’t come with ease as Bolton Wanderers proved to be quite a challenge.

The first goal didn’t come from Liverpool; it came from the opposition. Gudjohnsen converted a penalty in the 59th minute to give Bolton  the lead. If only they continued with this fiery manner then the outcome could have been very different…

Bolton took a step back, defending instead of going forward. This was their fatal error. With four minutes of full time to go, the tables turned and heads spun.

Sterling scored the equaliser in the 86th minute of the game. Then at the start of extra time, Coutinho netted the winning goal that sent Liverpool through to the next round!

A cup is finaly in Liverpool’s sight. But is it in reach?

All Aboard

The fear of not qualifying for the FA Cup appeared to have shaken Van Gaal. He put on an expensive team against a cheap Cambridge United.

Mata scored the first goal for the Reds in the 25th minute. Rojo then followed this brillaint lead by doubling the scoreline in the 32nd! Not a bad start at all.

In the second half Cambridge played with purpose, however it was Manchester United that made another breakthrough. Wilson scored the final goal of the match in the 73rd minute to secure his team’s entrance into the next round!

Man United have edged even closer to the chance of winning a cup this year. However, if they had to play a £231m squad to win a £0 Cambridge how will they cope against the bigger and stronger teams?
