we're top of the table :)

Liverpool scored their first victory over Arsenal in the Emirates ever and did it in a hard fought game where although the exclusion of Suarez in the first half left many a Scouser bewildered, proved a crucial tactic by the King!






In fact the last time we taste victory was in 2000 at Highbury when Titi Camara notched in the winner. It was really an awesome display by the redmen with an own goal in by Aaron Ramsey and Suarez piled on more woes to the Gunners with a second. 2 goals in 2 games - I bet Torres would have turned green with envy!
Dalglish made two changes from the 1-1 draw with Sunderland on the opening day as Martin Kelly and Dirk Kuyt replaced Jon Flanagan and Suarez
.Looked like the gunners were cursed further with another Red card( one from their previous game where Gervinho was the proud recipient) when Frimpong picked up a second Red which led to the sending off.

Kelly was definitely my man of the match with his awesome defending and stunning runs in the right. The whole game played well but I still fill Henderson was clearly out of his league. I was wondering why Henderson was not on the bench especially after a disappointing performance against Sunderland (who BTW lost to Newcastle today)



I think Arsene is headed to the Loony bin now

Arsenal: Szczesny, Koscielny (Miquel 15), Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Sagna, Frimpong, Ramsey, Nasri, Arshavin (Lansbury 71), Walcott (Bendtner 80), Van Persie. Not used: Fabianski, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Miyaichi.
Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique, Lucas, Henderson, Adam, Downing, Kuyt (Meireles 71), Carroll (Suarez 71). Not used: Doni, Maxi, Spearing, Skrtel, Flanagan.
Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)
This puts on on top of the table( although momentarily) but hey..I'll take it!
