One, two, three from the Magician

Liverpool 4-1 West Brom

Sublime game for the Anfield genie
Dark, dashing, dangerous and gutsy
On a day the Magician struck three
Prompting rosy words from John Henry

Three skinned to get the ball rolling
"Sublime," quipped a stunned Steve Clarke
With Boaz Myhill still stuck on his line
Eighteen yard header which lit up the park

After Pistol had pilfered the match ball
Conjured another by the League’s top scorer
Brendan beamed at the Reds dance hall
"Steven is a top, top, top, top, top player,"
