A good win for Manchester United tonight in a match that was always going to be difficult against Benfica. It wasn't the most beautiful thing to watch, and there were moments where I was reminded why Portugal was despised so much during the World Cup.

It's the result that Liverpool needed. A confidence boost. Two goals, and — most importantly — three points from a disappointing season thus far. Interestingly it was a midfielder who stole the headlines for Liverpool instead of a striker. Sure, Dirk Kuyt scored his first goal for the Reds but it was Xabi Alonso who […]
