The Decisive Last-Minute Kill

March 22, afternoon, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

The thirtieth round of the Premier League saw Liverpool host Aston Villa.

After a week of rest, Liverpool fielded their strongest lineup against the Birmingham side.

Just two minutes after kickoff, Yang Yang orchestrated a dangerous attack down the left, earning a corner.

In the eighth minute, Yang Yang once again won the ball from Rio Coke in the attacking half. After driving to the byline and crossing, he caused chaos inside Aston Villa's penalty area. Gerrard and Crouch both got shots away in succession, but the opposing defenders blocked them. Finally, Kuyt picked up a gift in front of goal and calmly slotted it home. One-nil.

Then, in the thirty-third minute, goalkeeper Reina launched a long kick upfield. Yang Yang beat the offside trap and raced into Aston Villa's penalty area, unleashing a volley from the penalty spot to score again. Two-nil.

That was Yang Yang's thirty-eighth Premier League goal of the season!

Before Yang Yang, the record for most goals in a single Premier League season was thirty-four. Now, every goal Yang Yang scored was creating a new Premier League record, thrilling the Liverpool fans in attendance.

Just six minutes after the goal, Yang Yang received the ball on the left and drove forward, charging deep into Aston Villa's penalty area. Rio Coke tripped him, and the referee saw it clearly and awarded a penalty. Yang Yang graciously let Gerrard take it, and Gerrard made no mistake.

Three-nil!

After the teams switched ends in the second half, Liverpool played with even greater ease, and Aston Villa remained powerless to threaten them.

First, Xabi Alonso assisted Gerrard's goal with a free kick. Then Gerrard played a through ball, and Yang Yang created a penalty inside the box. Even Aston Villa goalkeeper Friedel was
