Easy win for Reds
Revenge was sweet for Liverpool as they marched confidently towards the Champions League semi-finals with a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.
The one black moment for Liverpool was when full-back Fabio Aurelio was carried off in the second half with what was believed to be ruptured Achilles after collapsing clutching his leg.
Steven Gerrard headed the first goal, John Arne Riise blasted the second and Peter Crouch headed a third as Liverpool outplayed their hosts at the Philips Stadium.
Last season PSV boss Ronald Koeman engineered Liverpool's exit from the competition when he was in charge of Benfica.
This time his tactics were wrecked by Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez's masterplan, and the team that sent Arsenal spinning out were left with a mountain to climb in next week's second leg at Anfield.
