Liverpool players in action for
their countries in Euro 2012
qualifiers.
Steven Gerrard captained
England as they defeated
Bulgaria 4-0 at Wembley. Spurs
forward Jermaine Defoe scored a
hat-trick, with Man City winger
Adam Johnson also on the
scoresheet. Both Gerrard and
club-mate Glen Johnson played

Meanwhile, Fernando Torres

Spain against Liechtenstein as

hour so a succesful night for the
Reds record signing.
Another Red on target was Dirk

Holland in their 5-0 thrashing of
San Marino. Kuyt scoring from
the penalty spot early on before
Klaas Jan Huntelaar grabbed a
