It was a garbage goal. It was a garbage win. Or in this case...a draw.
No doubt about it, Liverpool deserved the 3 points Sunday against Chelsea. A win would've made us, along with Manchester City, one of only two perfect teams in the Premier League.
Down 1-nil in the 60th minute, Chelsea's Florent Malouda took a dive at the top of the 18, Steve Finnan was called for the phantom foul, and Frank Lampard converted to PK to notch it at 1's. Complete bullocks.
Not that it'll help us in the standings, but referee Rob Styles has officially apologized for the call, and he'll be suspended from calling any games this weekend. I guess I'll give the guy props for that. Still sucks, though.
It could be worse, however. We could be Manchester Utd (hehe). TWO POINTS AFTER 3 GAMES!?!?!?
