Kewell on mark as Reds rout Aberdeen
Kewell put the Reds 3-1 up at Pittodrie after goals from Danny Murphy and the in-form Emile Heskey had turned the game around following David Zdrilic’s first-minute goal for Aberdeen. Neil Mellor’s brace completed the scoring.
Merseyside rivals Everton were beaten 2-0 in Holland by Roda JC. David Moyes’ men fell behind after a quarter of an hour when Tom Soetaers and Cristiano exchanged passes and the former rifled the ball past Paul Gerrard. Cristiano then doubled Everton’s agony when Gerrard fumbled Soetaers’ aimless ball over the top and the Brazilian striker nipped in to score.
