Hicks Watches Liverpool Blank ManU, End Skid

With Tom Hicks and co-owner George Gillett seated at midfield (together during the first half, separate during the second as seen on the telecast), Liverpool ended a four-match losing streak on Sunday and continued its Premier League mastery of Manchester United. It ended 2-0 with Fernando Torres breaking the scoreless tie in the 65th minute and Liverpool adding another in the closing seconds of stoppage time.

With Hicks and Gillett in attendance, Liverpool fans held their latest gathering in protest of the American owners. The four consecutive losses in combined league and Champions League play marked the worst stretch for the Reds since 1987. Sunday’s win improved Liverpool to six wins and four losses in the Premier League, fifth place in the league and six points behind first-place Arsenal.

Next up for Liverpool in league play will be a visit to Fulham (3-4-1) next Saturday.
