LIVERPOOL: THE IFS AND BUTS

LIVERPOOL: THE IFS AND BUTS

YOU can’t live your life by ifs and buts. So why should your football team be allowed to? If Raheem Sterling scored that chance when the ball broke free for him to the left of the Manchester United penalty area? But United scored their first against the run of play....
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 LIVERPOOL 0

MANCHESTER UNITED 3 LIVERPOOL 0
