Fairytale over

                              

The final score was Liverpool 5-2 Havant and Waterlooville. However, for 45 minutes the Hawks were in the greatest game of their club’s history. They were level at the half, but they had lead the Reds (a team 122 places above them in the tables) twice at Anfield forcing boos from the home crowd at the halftime whistle. Former QPR striker Richard Pacquette put the part-timers up after only 8 minutes with a header from a Mo Harkin corner. The Reds squndered some early chances until Leiva Lucas curled in a 25 yarder to knot the score in the 27th minute.

      

Alfie Potter restored the advantage 4 minutes later with at deflected goal off of Martin Skrtel and into the net. Cue Yossi Benayoun. The Isreali international scored just before the half then came out firing in the second half with two more goals and the Premier Leaguers never looked back. Peter Crouch found the twine late to make the final score look lopsided, but this was not a typical walkover by the big boys. Havant and Waterlooville came to play and their 6,000 travelling supporters will have plenty of great memories to take back to Hampshire.
