Liverpool 3-1 PSV Eindhoven- UEFA Champions League

Irish international Robbie Keane scored his first goal for Liverpool as the Reds cruised to a comfortable 3-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in their Group D Champions League fixture. Skipper Steven Gerrard also scored his 100th goal for the club in the second half as Liverpool continued their impressive start to the new season.

PSV’s hopes of grinding out a draw were given an early jolt when Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring in the 4th minute. Fernando Torres sneaked ahead of Jeremie Brechet to shoot at Andreas Isaksson from Steven Gerrard’s corner, but the former Man City goalkeeper managed to produce a reflex save. The ball eventually bobbled to Kuyt, whose shot hit the roof of the net after Isaksson failed to stop it.

Fergie to field strongest possible team against Aalborg

Ahead of tonight’s trip to the Energi Nord Arena, Sir Alex Ferguson has stated that he will field his strongest possible team against Danish side Aalborg. The Danish champions are coached by Bruce Rioch, the man who brought Dennis Bergkamp to Arsenal, and who certainly knows a thing or two about beating United.

United, who drew 0-0 with Villareal two weeks ago, know that a slip up against tiny Aalborg could cost them dear. Barring Gary Neville and Owen Hargreaves, Sir Alex has most of his stars ready to take the pitch, and we could see Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov all in action today. The last time United visited Denmark was in 2006, when a second string lineup lost to FC Copenhagen.

Manchester United 08-09 Cristiano Ronaldo away
