Liverpool 6-1 Hull City

Liverpool 6-1 Hull City

Hull looked devoid of confidence conceding early at Anfield, Riera slipping a ball into Fernando Torres who turned two Hull defenders before finding the far corner. But the Tigers fought back to level quickly, Srktel and Carragher once again failed to deal with a ball in the box and Geovanni volleyed in the equaliser. Just before the half hour a brilliant solo goal from El Nino, Torres collecting a Benayoun ball in the box and waltzing past a couple of weak challenges before applying the clinical finish. Two minutes in the second half Torres raced towards the Kop to calmly slot in his hat-trick goal. Steven Gerrard put the nail in Hull coffin seeing his over-hit cross sail in off the underside of the bar. A late brace from sub Ryan Babel (first and second) sealed the comfortable Liverpool rout.
