Liverpool rallies past plumbers, taxi drivers!
LONDON - Yossi Benayoun scored three goals to help Liverpool rally to beat the amateurs of Havant and Waterlooville 5-2 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday and avoid the biggest upset in the competition€™s 136-year history.
Havant, which had plasterers, taxi drivers and refuse collectors in its squad at Liverpool€™s Anfield, twice took the lead in the first half against pros who earn up to $200,000 a week.
The Reds fans were stunned by Richard Pacquette€™s eighth minute header and, after Brazilian midfielder Lucas replied, a shot from Alfie Potter that was deflected in by the home team€™s Martin Skrtel.
Languishing six leagues and 123 places below Liverpool in English soccer€™s hierarchy, the Hawks couldn€™t hang on.
Benayoun equalized in the final minute of the first half, added two more in the second and Peter Crouch tapped in the fifth goal in the 90th.
