The Reds score an 8!

Liverpool thrashed Besiktas 8-0 at the Anfield.Liverpool avenged their defeat two weeks ago when they were defeated by the Turkish side 2-0.Bennayoun scored his first hattrick for pool while Babel and Crouch each scored a double.Steven Gerrard scored in the 69th minute to make it 8-0.

Liverpool achieved their biggest winning margin in Europe since a 10-1 win over Finnish side Oulun Palloseura in 1980, and this on boss Rafa Benitez's 50th European match in charge at Liverpool.This win was also the biggest winning margin in a Champions League game.

On the day that Liverpool's new American owners got the go-ahead from the local council to build a new 60,000 stadium in Stanley Park, their team responded with a really big performance!
