Kuyt treble sends message to rivals in race for title 19

ONE thing became apparent at Anfield yesterday.

If nothing else, Liverpool and Kenny Dalglish sent out a powerful message that if Manchester United are to surpass them in terms of domestic league titles won, then Alex Ferguson’s side are going to have to work like never before.

Locked with Liverpool on 18 titles apiece, United found their path towards a record 19th success blocked by a determined Dutchman on Merseyside.
