Liverpool FC Vs. Oldham Athletic AFC

Oldham
Liverpool      Victory to Liverpool after rough battle                                                                       2-0

Football can make changes an environment miraculously. Effecting the players, manager, spectators and etc. This time it was a situation of simple decisions, a small developing team and a big club. Yet again football has not disappoint. Majority of sport sites like BBC sport, Team talk and the opposing sides' websites described it as a tough match. However, the main attraction was a family war between Brendan Rodgers and his son Anton Rodgers. Like all rivalry it ends well with them hugging each other as Anton comes of the bench. However, more on football . Liverpool won 2-0 against the underdog side whom many sport correspondents describe as stubborn. To the extent that Team talk titled the report as 'Nervy Liverpool edge through'. We are left to wait who are Liverpool's next contenders . First goal scored by Iago Aspas one of Brendan's summer signings which had not the best of starts in the Barclays premier league. LFC say it is a relief. The 26 year-old ,Celti Vigo striker finally makes his mark for the club already half way through the season. The second was unlucky from the plucky underdogs,Oldham who conceded through their own player.
