Liverpool FC 3-West Ham United 3 (Full Time) Penalty shootout: 3-1
FA CupWinners 2006: Liverpool FC
It was probably the best FA Cup final you have ever seen for a long time. Yes, the Liverpool hopefuls were very much optimistic throughout the match. Be it in the Pubs, at home, or like me, at the neighbourhood kopitiam, we were all praying for the equaliser. Finally it came, from none other than Steven Gerrard's 35m screamer into the top left corner.
Extra time saw many players experiencing cramps, and it seems destined that the match would be settled by penalties.Once Reina saved his second penalty, it was clear that Liverpool has survived the challenge of West Ham in their quest to winning their seventh FA Cup.
While Pool fans enjoy the win, we should not forget that West Ham gave us a hell-of-a-time. Unsung West Hammers, such as skipper Nigel Reo-Coker, chief tormentor Yossi Benayoun, strike force partners of Dean Ashton and Marlon Harewood gave Liverpool plenty of problems during the match, and must be praised for their efforts.
