Liverpool defeat Fulham
LONDON, Nov 2: Midfielder Danny Murphy converted a late penalty to give Liverpool a 2-1 premier league victory over 10-man Fulham at Loftus Road on Sunday.
Emile Heskey, who had scored twice in Liverpool’s 4-3 midweek League Cup win over Blackburn Rovers, gave them a 17th minute lead, while French striker Louis Saha levelled for Fulham just before the break.
But the match swung Liverpool’s way in the last three minutes when Liverpool substitute Florent Sinama-Pongolle was first tripped for the penalty and later felled by Luis Boa Morte, earning the Portuguese forward a red card.
Roma TRIUMPH
MILAN: AS Roma moved within two points of leaders AC Milan and Juventus with goals from Vincenzo Montella and John Carew giving them a 2-0 victory over Reggina in Serie A on Sunday.
European champions Milan and Italian title holders Juventus drew 1-1 in their top-of-the-table clash on Saturday and have 20 points to Roma’s 18.
Parma moved into fourth place after they came back from 2-1 down at Brescia to win 3-2 but their Brazilian striker Adriano was carried off with what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury.
Bologna’s poor season continued as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Sampdoria, Cristiano Doni on target for the visitors.—Reuters
