Huddlestone, Meyler & more: Twitter reacts as Hull beat Liverpool
Tom Huddlestone and David Meyler both tweet their thoughts after Hull City were comfortable 3-1 winners against Liverpool
David Meyler helped Hull City seal their first-ever win against Liverpool as Steve Bruce’s men edged to a 3-1 win at the KC Stadium.
The hosts went ahead when Jake Livermore’s shot deflected past Simon Mignolet but Steven Gerrard levelled from the spot seven minutes later, before David Meyler and a Martin Skrtel own goal helped the home side secure three points in the second half.
Here is the best of the Twitter reactions from the professionals, and match-winners, in chronological order.
Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor (@NeilMellor33) is concerned by Daniel Sturridge’s injury: “A huge blow to hear Sturridge out of the festive period with some massive away games ahead this month. #LFC”
Ex-Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann (@DietmarHamann) joking backs plans to change Hull’s name: “Looking forward now to see the Hull City Tigers.Got to avoid the sin bin to have a chance against Liverpool.”
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler (@Robbie9Fowler) wants more from Victor Moses: “Victor Moses for me…. Try to do that in the right areas.”
Southampton hero Matt Le Tissier (@mattletiss7) is well-placed to judge what amounts to a great free-kick: “Quality free-kick that from Stevie G #toptopdraw”
England legend Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) agrees with Le Tissier: “Superb free-kick from Gerrard. Mark my words this young player is going places.”
