Liverpool gained maximum points in their quest for the Champion League after cruising to a 3-1 win against a hapless PSV side.
Gerrard's 100th goal for his club and Keane's first for the Reds ensure Liverpool took a giant step to qualifying for the second group stage. Althetico Madrid have also 6 points from two games.
PSV's game plan was to starved Liverpool by packing the midfield and defence. However their plan was backfired as early as the 4th mintue. Gerrard's corner found Torres who sweep the ball but was parried away by Issakson. The ball found Kuyt who made no mistake from close range.
Liverpool took control of the game. They were rewarded the second when Torres's low cross to Keane who took it first time. The ball went past the PSV keeper into the net much to the relief of Keane. His first goal for Liverpool after failing to score in his 10 matches.
Second half was the same for the Reds. It took Liverpool 72th minute to struck the third goal. Gerrard's rocket free kick had Issakson beaten all the way.
PSV scored a consolaton goal a minute later. The goal cost Liverpool top spot in the table. It has been a great week for Liverpool, Gerrard and Keane.
Come Saturday, Liverpool will face a tough tie at the Stadium of Manchester where Robino and Co is waiting.
