"Look at Liverpool's attack this time. The ball is played to the right."
"What player is that?"
"Mascherano!"
"My God, Mascherano has actually charged into the right side of Manchester United's penalty area and sent the ball in."
"Kuyt takes the shot..."
"Oh, so close. Kuyt's shot was truly embarrassing."
"Mascherano waved at Kuyt, as if saying, Mate, I might not even manage to make a pass that brilliant once in a year, and you actually wasted it. I'll remember this, haha..."
"After coming from behind to beat Manchester United, Liverpool have indeed been playing very relaxed during this stretch, firmly controlling the situation on the pitch."
"Look, it was started from midfield again. It's Mascherano again, passing to Yang Yang..."
"A direct shot..."
"That gave everyone quite a scare. Yang Yang suddenly unleashed a long-range shot from more than thirty meters out, and the quality was pretty high."
"Van der Sar must have broken out in a cold sweat. That shot came far too suddenly."
"Yang Yang has been extremely active throughout the match. He has scored a brace, helping Liverpool take a temporary 2–1 lead."
"It looks like he wants to score another one now and complete a hat-trick."
"Liverpool have indeed been extremely strong this season, and they look like genuine title contenders."
"Three key players—Gerrard, Crouch, and Carragher—are missing from this match, yet Liverpool can still keep Manchester United pinned down on the pitch. That alone shows just how strong Liverpool are."
