Mido got the first goal of the match for Middlesbrough but a rare goal from Carragher and a great late goal from Gerrard won the game for Liverpool. A goalless first half passed with few chances but with Liverpool having the greater share of the possession. The second half saw Mido score a screamer from long range, Carragher get a shot deflected into the back of the net and Gerrard score with a brilliant shot in the dying seconds. Liverpool get 3 points as Middlesbrough go home disappointed. HAHA! Losers! Just joking, I’ll rephrase that – unlucky.
