De Gea 星/主役にするs in 部隊d's sixth 連続する 勝利,勝つ

By Steve Tongue

Dec 14 (Reuters) - The difference in fortunes since Liverpool won 3-0 away to Manchester 部隊d in March was illustrated when Louis 先頭 Gaal's team 逆転するd that scoreline on Sunday.

Nine months ago the Merseysiders were challenging 堅固に for the 首相 League 肩書を与える and 部隊d, having their worst season for many years, would すぐに 解雇(する) 経営者/支配人 David Moyes.

After a slow start to the (選挙などの)運動をする 部隊d appear to have been revitalised by 先頭 Gaal and goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and コマドリ 先頭 Persie 調印(する)d a sixth 連続した league 勝利,勝つ to keep them in third place.

Liverpool are languishing in 中央の-(米)棚上げする/(英)提議する.

That said, it was a flattering 利ざや, with many 観察者/傍聴者s making 部隊d's goalkeeper David De Gea man of the match.

The Spaniard pulled off a succession of important saves, おもに from Raheem 英貨の/純銀の in the first half and 代用品,人 Mario Balotelli in the second.

It was a typically feisty contest between the old 競争相手s, ending with seven yellow cards, four of them to 部隊d before halftime.

Other 統計(学) showed Liverpool had more 発射s and corners 同様に as plenty of 所有/入手 but crucially they could not 変える their chances, and made mistakes in 譲歩するing each goal.

Liverpool could (人命などを)奪う,主張する luck was against them, with the second goal 明確に offside but as 経営者/支配人 Brendan Rodgers 認める they contribut ed to their own downfall.

"We created enough chances to 勝利,勝つ but we made 防御の mistakes, which is what cost us," he told Sky Sports.

"I thought we did enough to 勝利,勝つ the game. But you can't 譲歩する the goals we did."

For the first one in the 13th minute, Joe Allen 許すd Antonio Valencia to 押し進める the ball through his 脚s and had no cover behind him as the Ecuadorean played a square pass for Rooney to (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 goalkeeper Brad Jones with 緩和する.

Australian Jones was brought in as 交替/補充 for Simon Mignolet to start his first 首相 League game since March 2013, but he was beaten again five minutes before half-time.

As Ashley Young 削減(する) 支援する の上に his 権利 foot to cross, Mata was not offside but he was by the time 先頭 Persie flicked the ball on.

Rodgers sent on Balotelli for Adam Lallana at the interval and although Liverpool continued to see plenty of the ball, they also 行方不明になるd その上の chances.

英貨の/純銀の was the 有罪の party again five minutes into the second half after latching の上に Jonny Evans's weak 支援する pass.

Left one-on-one with De Gea, he did not seem to 信用 his left foot and in swerving to his 権利 許すd the goalkeeper to 封鎖する with his 脚.

Earlier 英貨の/純銀の had twice been 妨害するd by De Gea, the first time barely half a minute before 部隊d broke out for their 開始 goal.

With Daniel Sturridge still 負傷させるd, he was playing as their only striker in preference to Balotelli and Rickie Lambert, the summer 調印 from Southampton who has had few 適切な時期s.

英貨の/純銀の did better 中途の through the second half in setting up Balo telli, but De Gea 押し進めるd the Italian's 発射 の上に the crossbar.

Balotelli, ever 議論の的になる, should have received an 早期に yellow card for 持つ/拘留するing 支援する 先頭 Persie and soon afterwards he did do, for committing the same offence on Phil Jones.

By that time 部隊d had a third goal, stemming from a classic 反対する-attack but still helped by bad defending.

Mata sent Rooney away and Dejan Lovren should have (疑いを)晴らすd his cross. Off-balance, he skewed it straight to Mata, whose perfect pass was 演習d in by 先頭 Persie for a seventh league goal of the season.

There was still time for De Gea to make two more 質 saves from Balotelli.

先頭 Gaal said that De Gea "had a big 影響(力)" but was also 批判的な of his team for the number of chances they 許すd the 対立.

"We have to 改善する that," he said. (Editing by Martyn Herman)
