Nando Claus - Villa 0-1 Liverpool

Trekking Kop regaled the Holte End
In the most torrid winter snow
Jagged bout with a Warnock assist
First-class Lucas bossing the show

Villa supplied scares by the bucket
Fierce close-range volley from Downing
Close eyed instinct from the man in the box
Drive met by Reina’s lissom spring

Agbonlahor failed with a tame shot
Central point of all post match slurs
Carew glanced staggeringly wide
Two behind Villa and three off Spurs

Third minute of stoppage time
Robust Richard Dunne outdone
Racing through the inside right channel
El Toro seized his half ton

Quickest ever Red to reach fifty
steered through the needle head
Sharp left past stretched out Friedal
His armband proved he was a red

Drilling low into the bottom left corner
Gutsy win on the road to success
“We’ll take that,” shout the Scouse
Anyday from Aston – ishing Torres
