Bolton (2) Vs Liverpool (3) – 29th August 2009: Video Highlights
Another tough game for Liverpool who had to twice come from behind to beat a tricky Bolton side.
Kevin Davies put Bolton ahead when he profitted from a tap-in from a corner. Glen Johnson equalised soon afterwards with a low drive into the bottom corner that saw the scores 1-1 at half-time.
After half-time, Tamir Cohen scored Bolton’s second goal, and Davies received a second card and a sending off. Liverpool’s response came from Steven Gerrard, who hit the bar allowing Fernando Torres to finish clinically and Gerrard rifled in the winner late on.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez:
“All our players wanted to impress and do well. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, among others, knew they needed to improve.
“We showed we have quality players and they all fought hard to show their improvement.
“We had a lot of possession and were in control for much of the game. To concede two goals like we did is disappointing, but the team hit back and proved their quality.”
