Dropped Two Points

The goal from the perfect free kick by Steven Gerrard early in the game was ruled out by the poor decision made by the linesman. After that it was a frustrating game for Liverpool against Stoke City failing to score. It was a huge opportunity for them to get atop the table as Manchester United and Chelsea drew 1-1. Had they won against Stoke City, they would be two points clear Chelsea and one point ahead of Arsenal leading the Barclays Premier League. The defense and the consistent resistance from Stoke City with brilliant performance from the Goalie Sorensen was praiseworthy. They deserved the point they collected from Anfield and it was something to celebrate for them.
However, for Liverpool it was the most disappointing result in all competitions this season. The numerous attempts by Xabi Alonso, Steven Gerrard and even from Torres went pegging as they failed to score until the 90th minute. The frustrated team had to drop two points to remain at the third position behind Arsenal and Chelsea.
