FULL TIME SCORE
AFC WIMBLEDON 1 -- 2 LIVERPOOL
A Akinfenwa (36) S Gerrard (12, 62 mins)
So it's not an upset tonight in the end after a piece of magic by Gerrard, even so what a great effort by the lads a division four side against a team full of internationals. This was no reserve side put out and we gave them a game.
Didn't fancy playing Bolton anyway...
