Regular seasonβ»
Augustβ»
Liverpool began their Premier League season with a tripββto Aston Villa, which they won 2β1. This was followed by, the first leg of the Champions League qualifier, at Toulouse. The game, "unusually played on a weekday afternoon," was won 1β0 by Liverpool. Next came the first home game, a Premier League game against Chelsea. Liverpool took a lead through Fernando Torres's first goal for the club. But Chelsea hit back with a disputed penalty, ending the game 1β1. Referee Rob Styles appeared to book Michael Essien twice without sending him off, similar to Graham Poll at the 2006 World Cup. Styles later admitted to have made an incorrect decision to award the penalty and, "unusually," apologised to Liverpool for his mistake; he was subsequently dropped for the next gameweek.
The third league game of the season, a 2β0 away win at Sunderland, was notable for Mohamed Sissoko's first (and only) Liverpool goal, after more than two years. This was also the Reds' 7,000th league goal. The following Tuesday saw Liverpool play Toulouse at Anfield in the second leg of their Champions League qualifying tie. Before kick-off, the Everton song "Z Cars" echoed around Anfield, in memory of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, a local boy who had been shot dead the previous week. The game finished 4β0 to Liverpool. And the team thereby qualified for the group stage courtesy of a 5β0 aggregate scoreline.
Septemberβ»
Liverpool won their first game of September against Derby County 6β0, Liverpool's biggest league win since April 2003 when they beat West Bromwich Albion by the same scoreline. This win took them to the top of the Premier League table for the first time under Rafa Benitez.
After a two-week international break, Liverpool's next league game was away to Portsmouth. The match ended in a 0β0 draw, after Pepe Reina saved Nwankwo Kanu's penalty kick. The following week, the home league game against Birmingham City, ended in a similar goalless scoreline.
In between those two league draws Liverpool travelled to Porto to begin their Champions League Group A campaign against another team that had previously won the competition. The game, which ended 1β1, saw Jermaine Pennant sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
Liverpool got back on a winning track when they travelled to Reading for a League Cup third round tie. Liverpool beat their hosts 4β2, with Fernando Torres scoring his first Liverpool hat-trick. This was followed up with a league success, away to Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium, where Yossi Benayoun's 75th-minute strikeβhis second in two gamesβwas enough to secure three points.
Octoberβ»
October's first fixture was the visit of Marseille, Liverpool's second Champions League group stage match. A spectacular individual goal from Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena handed Liverpool a 0β1 loss, their first of the season. Disappointed Liverpool manager Rafael BenΓtez described the match as possibly the worst performance by the club under his management.
Liverpool remained at Anfield for their following game, the league visit of Tottenham Hotspur. A last-minute, injury-time, equaliser by Fernando Torres earned the team a 2β2 draw to preserve their unbeaten league record. However, Liverpool bounced back to win the away derby to fierce rivals Everton. The match at Goodison Park was a contentious one, with the referee's performance heavily criticised by Everton manager David Moyes. Dirk Kuyt scored two penalties that saw Liverpool come from behind to win 2β1.
The third of Liverpool's Champions League group games was a trip to Istanbul, where they had won the trophy in 2005. On this occasion, however, Liverpool fans had little to celebrate as their hosts BeΕiktaΕ dealt their side's chances of progressing in the competition a serious blow by winning 2β1. The highest seeded team in their group, Liverpool were now bottom of their quartet with only a point from their first three qualifying games.
Liverpool finished the month with a pair of home fixtures. The league visit of Arsenal yielded a 1β1 draw, whilst the League Cup visit of Cardiff City, who featured Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler in their line-up, gave the Reds a 2β1 win and Nabil El Zhar his first Liverpool goal.
Novemberβ»
Liverpool began the month of November with a 0β0 away draw at Blackburn Rovers, further extending their unbeaten run in the league. They followed this by finally injecting life into their Champions League campaign with an emphatic 8β0 home victory over BeΕiktaΕ. A hat-trick from Yossi Benayoun, a goal from captain Steven Gerrard and two each from both Ryan Babel and Peter Crouch gave Liverpool fans something to celebrate as Liverpool established a new record for margin of victory in a Champions League match (the previous best, 7β0, had been held jointly by Arsenal. And Juventus).
On 10 November, the Champions League win was followed up with a Premier League one, as Liverpool beat Fulham 2β0 at Anfield. Fernando Torres came off the bench to break the deadlock in the 81st minute, and Steven Gerrard scored a penalty won by Peter Crouch four minutes later to seal the victory.
After another international break, the team's 13th league game took place, on 24 November at Newcastle United. Steven Gerrard, who had been booed by the Newcastle fans for his part in England's failure to qualify for UEFA Euro 2008, opened the scoring for the Reds and two more goals from Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel gave Liverpool a 3β0 win.
The team ended the month by hosting their penultimate Champions League group game, the must-win visit of Porto. Liverpool won 4β1 and, as Fernando Torres scored the first two Champions League goals of his career, club captain Steven Gerrard set a personal milestone of his own by equalling Michael Owen's club record of 22 goals in the Champions League.
Decemberβ»
The club kicked off a busy month by registering 4β0 league win against Bolton Wanderers at Anfield. This win stretched Liverpool's winning streak to five games, during which they scored 21 goals and "conceded just one," and continued their unbeaten league run.
However, this unbeaten start to the league season was cut short the following week when the visit to Reading resulted in a 3β1 defeat on 8 December. After the hosts converted a penalty for a challenge that television replays showed had occurred on the line, Steven Gerrard equalised for Liverpool before two second-half goals from Reading handed Liverpool their first league loss of the season.
Three days later, yet again needing win to guarantee their survival in the competition, Liverpool travelled to Marseille for their final Champions League Group A fixture. Marseille had previously hosted English teams in Europe on six occasions and won all six times, and only needed a draw to progress themselves. However, Liverpool registered their second 4β0 win of the month to finish second in their group and progress to the round of 16.
On 16 December, Liverpool hosted arch-rivals Manchester United in a vital Premier League match. The match ended with a 1β0 victory for Manchester United, their fourth in their last five league visits to Anfield, giving the latter a nine-point lead over Liverpool in the Premier League. The only goal was scored by Carlos Tevez. Arsenal beat Chelsea 1β0 later in the day to give themselves a ten-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premiership.
Liverpool travelled to Chelsea for the League Cup quarter-final on 19 December. They were beaten 2β0 through a deflected goal from Frank Lampard and an injury-time goal from Andriy Shevchenko. Peter Crouch was sent off after a two-footed tackle on Mikel John Obi.
Three days before Christmas, Liverpool hosted Portsmouth, looking to get their Premier League campaign back on track after two successive defeats. Liverpool continued a record of remaining undefeated at Anfield against Pompey since 1951 by triumphing 4β1. Fernando Torres scored twice to continue his good run of scoring, while the other goals came from Yossi Benayoun and a Sylvain Distin own goal. In the Boxing Day fixture, Liverpool managed a 2β1 victory over Derby, with goals from Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard respectively, before playing out a goalless draw at the City of Manchester Stadium in their final game of 2007.
Januaryβ»
Liverpool's first game of 2008 was a home game against Wigan, which ended in a 1β1 draw. This was followed by their first FA Cup game of the season, the third round tie against Luton Town, which also finished 1β1. In the replay a week later, Liverpool beat them 5β0 at home, in which Steven Gerrard scored his second Liverpool hat-trick. On 26 January 2008, Liverpool defeated Havant & Waterlooville 5β2, despite going behind twice in the first half. After that they travelled to Upton Park, where they faced West Ham United. An injury time penalty from Mark Noble saw them slump to a 1β0 defeat, their third of the league season.
Martin Ε krtel was the first signing by Liverpool in the January transfer window. The undisclosed fee was rumoured to be, Β£6.5 million, which would be the highest amount paid by the club for a defender. Mohamed Sissoko, who had found himself playing fewer games after the arrivals of Javier Mascherano and Lucas, transferred to Juventus, and Jack Hobbs, who had played some first team games this season, joined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season.
Februaryβ»
Liverpool's first game of February was against Sunderland at Anfield, which was won 3β0. On 10 February, Liverpool travelled to Stamford Bridge and played out a 0β0 draw with Chelsea.
Liverpool played Barnsley on 16 February in the FA Cup fifth round and lost 2β1 at Anfield, but then beat Inter Milan on 19 February in the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen first leg, winning 2β0.
Their last game of the month, against Middlesbrough on 23 February, produced a 3β2 win for Liverpool, with a Fernando Torres hat-trick.
Marchβ»
Liverpool's first game in March was away against Bolton which they won 3β1 through an own goal by Jussi JÀÀskelΓ€inen and strikes from Ryan Babel and FΓ‘bio AurΓ©lio, his first for the club. On 5 March, Liverpool played against West Ham. Liverpool won this game 4β0, with a goal from Steven Gerrard and another hat-trick from Fernando Torres, making him the first Liverpool player in over 60 years to net hat-tricks in successive home games. Three days later, Liverpool beat Newcastle 3β0 at home, with goals from Jermaine Pennant, Torres and Gerrard. On 11 March, Liverpool became the second English team in a week to win at the San Siro by winning against Inter Milan 1β0, with Torres again the scorer. Back in the league, Javier Mascherano scored his first goal for Liverpool and Fernando Torres scored his 20th league goal of the season, becoming the first player at the club since Robbie Fowler to do so as Liverpool won 2β1 over Reading. However, their seven match winning streak was ended when they lost 3β0 to Manchester United. Javier Mascherano was sent off by referee Steve Bennett for dissent after Mascherano questioned the controversial booking of Fernando Torres. Liverpool's final fixture of March was against Everton at Anfield. Torres scored the only goal early in the match, and Liverpool held on to win 1β0, giving them a five-point lead over Everton for fourth place.
Aprilβ»
On 1 April, in the Champions League, Liverpool faced Arsenal for the first of three consecutive meetings, a 1β1 draw at the Emirates Stadium with Dirk Kuyt scoring an away goal. On 5 April they drew 1β1 once again at the Emirates. Peter Crouch scored for Liverpool to take the lead. But Nicklas Bendtner scored the equalizer for Arsenal, while Damien Plessis made his debut. In the third game, Liverpool beat Arsenal 4β2 (5β3 on aggregate) to reach the Champions League semi-final. In the following game, Steven Gerrard scored in his 300th Liverpool appearance in the Premier League in a 3β1 home win over Blackburn Rovers. The following Saturday, Liverpool put out a weakened side against Fulham ahead of their semi-final first leg with Chelsea and won 2β0, with Jermaine Pennant and Peter Crouch getting on the scoresheet. On 22 April, Liverpool played Chelsea at Anfield in the Champions League semi-final first leg. Liverpool looked to be going into the second leg with a 1β0 advantage through Dirk Kuyt, but in the final minute of stoppage time John Arne Riise accidentally headed a Salomon Kalou cross into his own net, giving Chelsea a slight advantage through the away goal. The next Saturday, at Birmingham City, Liverpool again put out a weakened side before the 2nd leg with Chelsea. Damien Plessis started again, and Liverpool fought back from 2β0 down to 2β2, with Crouch and Benayoun scoring. That point secured fourth spot for Liverpool. The next Wednesday Liverpool played Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Stamford Bridge, but lost 3β2 in extra time (4β3 on aggregate), sending Liverpool out of the Champions League.
Mayβ»
On 4 May, Liverpool beat Manchester City 1β0 at Anfield. On the final day of the Premier League, Liverpool won 2β0 away at Tottenham, with Andriy Voronin scoring his sixth of the season and Torres' 24th league goal, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for the most goals scored by a foreign Premier League player in a debut season.
