Subject: United suffer at hands of Murphy - again Author: Dave [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:39:51 01/23/02 Wed United suffer at hands of Murphy - again Danny Murphy was once more the scourge of Manchester United as he brought the champions' juggernaut to a halt at Old Trafford. Murphy, whose free-kick settled this fixture last season, repeated the feat when he scored six minutes from time to end United's eight-game winning run. United started off by dominating the play and the champions pegged Liverpool back in their own half. The visitors were presented with a rare sight of goal when Laurent Blanc fouled Emile Heskey and Gerrard's driven free-kick was deflected wide for a corner. Fabien Barthez punched the corner away to launch a sweeping United counter-attack, which resulted in Paul Scholes firing just past Jerzy Dudek's right-hand post. Liverpool slowly began to push out from their own half and Gerrard hit a drive which was comfortably saved by Barthez. Liverpool began the second half in a more positive mood and were knocking the ball about with confidence. United's passing began to go astray and a feeling of frustration also began to emerge from the fans, who had come expecting yet another win. The home fans eventually had something to get excited about when Beckham curled a shot just wide and Dudek punched away a rocket from Juan Sebastian Veron. Nicolas Anelka replaced MIchael Owen 13 minutes from time and within a minute he almost scored when Barthez saved his shot at the near post. Seconds later Barthez made an even better stop when he kept out a piledriver from John Arne Riise. Liverpool's greater ambition was rewarded on 84 minutes with the winning goal. Murphy collected Gerrard's pass and lifted the ball over Barthez. United tried to mount one a comeback, and Dudek saved a Giggs header from their best effort before referee Graham Barber blew to seal another win for Liverpool.
