Nice to be back in winning form and keeping clean sheets, this victory helps boost our confidence and lifts us up to the 5th position in the league table.
Javier Mascherano claimed the first goal after a deflection, the blues did have a few good chances and had two goals ruled-out due to clear offsides in the first half.
My man of the match has to be Pepe Reina who made a few great saves and kept the clean sheet.
We did look shaky at times however the introduction of Yossi Benayoun in the 2nd half put us back in control of the game and Dirk Kuyt made it 2-0 in the final ten minutes.
It was obvious that many of our players who were injured are still not at 100% fitness especially the way Stevie G. was pretty anonymous for most of the game. We now have six days until our next game with Blackburn this will give our players some time to rest.
