Two Steven Gerrard penalties helped Liverpool embarrass bitter rivals Manchester United, 3-0, to increase the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea. Gerrard’s strike either side of halftime put the visitors in control, and Luis Suarez sealed only Liverpool’s second win at Old Trafford in nearly 10 years. With nine matches remaining to Chelsea’s eight, Liverpool’s run of five consecutive league wins has left them four points behind Jose Mourinho’s side, who were beaten 1-0 at Aston Villa on Saturday. Liverpool is seeking their first English title since 1990. -- Mornings @ ANC, March 18, 2014.
