Rafa Benitez made just one change from the side that beat Inter Milan, which was instead of starting with jamie carrangher, arbeloa was. Rafa was forced to do this because carrangher had already received 5 yellow cards.
Boro shocked Anfield as they scored a goal by Tuncay in the ninth minute. After that goal liverpool started to push forward and become more dangerous. At the 28th minute Boro did some mistakes in their defence and gave the ball to torres who got round schwarzer. At the 29th minute Torres scored another goal from 25 yards. In the 61st minute Torres completed his hat trick, which was his 2nd hat trick of the season and also his 21st goal for liverpool. Boro was still a threat, and they nearly scored a goal but it got in by Tuncay's hand. At the 83rd minute Boro scored a goal by Downing. In the 85th minute Jeremie Aliadiere was sent off after slapping Javier Mascherano. Man of the match Fernando Torres.
