Manchester United maintained their tittle challenge by getting a crucial win against fierce rivals Liverpool. The build-up to the game was huge and all eyes were on the pre match handshakes. Ky Bowman Jersey It seemingly appeared that Evra and Suarez would shake hands and get on with the game but that was far from the case as the ridiculed Liverpool striker refused to shake Evras hand, which left the French full back furious. Rio Ferdinand subsequently refused to shake Suarezs hand and this set the tone for the rest of the match. In a lacklustre Jeremy Lin Jersey first half Evra, Suarez and Ferdinand were involved in a couple of incidents. Reports claimed that the players had to be separated by police at half time as tempers flared in the tunnel.The second half began in stunning fashion Kevin Durant Jersey for United as they hit two goals in the space of five minutes, with Wayne Rooney grabbing both of them. The game went into a lull before Suarez was straight back in the thick of things as some slack United defending allowed him to poach in from five yards. Although Liverpool deserved nothing from the game they nearly salvaged a draw had it not been for a fine save by De Gea from a stinging Glen Johnson Nate Thurmond Jersey shot.When the full time whistle came Evra made his feelings clear as he went to celebrate right in front of the Uruguayan Suarez. The post-match interviews focused on the handshake incident rather than the match itself. Sir Alex Ferguson described Suarezs behaviour as disgraceful while his counterpart Dalglish continued to back Suarez in a fiery post match interview on Sky in which he claimed he did not know that Suarez had refused to shake E-40 Jersey hands. Dalglishs actions have been condemned as Liverpools reputation has been more than somewhat tainted.Dalglish and Suarez have both since apologised, but will this be the end of the matter? |
