Cue disbelief as Rafa ventured to win With panache and plenty of style
Red Royals moved steadily back to fifth
No caution just Rafa’s guile
Floodgates burst just after mid point
Double error by reserve Ashdown
Frail clearance and dawdled too long
Torres bought down the whole town
Barely two minutes and advantage doubled
Babel beat the marker to score
Old boy Finnan skinned with ease
Torres orchestrating the Red encore
Anfield distinctly hushed
Peculiar half and then the banks broke
El Principe’s first goal in English football
Roaring applause erupting at a stroke
Aquilani then turned architect
Flawless pass to set up four
Emblematic finish from Nando
Pompey sent through the trap door
Reina lamented a clean sheet
Belhadj tapping a consolation reward
Reds discover their bite and tackle
Just in time for Old Trafford
