() December 26, the day after Christmas, is known in the West as Boxing Day.

Unlike other European leagues, not only does the UK not have a winter break, but the Premier League also has one of the most intense fixtures of the season during Christmas and New Year.

There is a tradition in the Premier League or League One that in league matches held around Boxing Day, players from both sides will attack desperately in the hope of scoring more goals and giving the fans a big win.

Even after this round of the league, the FA will count the total number of goals scored by all teams in this round of the league, compare them with the goals of previous years, and predict the fortune of the new year.

The craziest Boxing Day in history may date back to 1963, when 66 goals were scored in 10 Boxing Day league games, including Burnley's 6-1 home win over Manchester United, Fulham's 10-1 humiliation of Ipswich, Liverpool's 6-1 win over Stoke City and Blackburn's 8-2 win at West Ham United.

In addition, in this round of matches, there were also 3 high-scoring draws.

Nottingham Forest's matches against Sheffield United and Wolves against Aston Villa both ended 3-3, while West Bromwich Albion played Tottenham Hotspur 4-4. This round of League One also set a record for the most goals scored in a single round in the history of the English top flight.

If that's not crazy, then in another round of League One two days after this round, many teams that had suffered a heavy defeat just 48 hours ago were able to turn the tables in no time.

West Ham won 3-1 at Edwood Park after losing 8-2 at home to Blackburn Rovers two days ago, while Manchester United, who had just lost five goals away to Burnley, returned to Old Trafford with a 5-1 victory. Even more rare was the 1-10 home defeat to Fulham, and the next 4-2 away win over Fulham, knowing that Ipswich finished bottom of the league that season and were relegated.

On Boxing Day this year, Arsenal 2-0 Fulham, Chelsea 1-0 Villa, Manchester United 2-0 Bolton, Everton 2-1 Manchester City. Such a score made Boxing Day dull, but at the Hawthorn Stadium, Liverpool, who have always been criticized in attack, gave fans the largest score difference in a single game this season.

Ahead of the match against West Bromwich Albion, the Reds captain led an offbeat caddy in the players' tunnel.

When people saw the Asian face of the little caddy, they also saw the leg support on the right leg of the little caddy.

Jiang Xiaoyu's face was flushed, I don't know if it was because of excitement or because of the cold weather. Holding the hand of captain Gerrard, he limped into the hawthorn field to greet the cheers of the 25,000 players in the field.

"Steven, will we win the game?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked quietly.

"Jiang, just wait, we will give the fans a perfect victory!"

Gerald was full of fighting spirit, and there was no sign of big words on his face.

Sure enough, just 15 minutes into the game, Steven Gerrard crossed from the right and accurately passed the ball to the feet of Reese. The latter gave a gentle push and fired into the far corner of the net six yards out.

Reese's goal sparked a complete attacking frenzy for Liverpool.

In the 39th minute, Nunez's header was blocked by defender Conterra with his hand in front of the goal line, and the Romanian was sent off by referee Sdales.

Baroshe's penalty was converted to make it 2-0.

In the second half, players from both sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 51st minute, Reese crossed from the left, and Pongler volleyed from 12 yards in the middle, and the ball bounced back into the goal.

Four minutes later, Hamann flicked a free-kick and Gerrard fired a powerful shot from 20 yards down the middle. The ball flew through the wall and into the net.

In less than an hour, Liverpool were already 4-0 up.

West Bromwich Albion, who were on the losing slate, couldn't organise a decent counter-attack with one man in hand. Although sitting at home, they were pressed by Liverpool for 90 minutes.

In the 72nd minute, Alonso crossed from the right and Reese volleyed home from a distance.

5-0 was enough to make the Reds fans who came to watch the game scream and go crazy.

In particular, a group of invited Chinatown fans in the stands jumped and shouted the names of each of the Reds' starters, which became a beautiful scenery in the stands.

In the final stages of the game, Liverpool's attack was even more like a tide.

And with the "effort" of players such as the midfielder, he made three free kicks in good positions.

These three free kicks were all punished by Tang Wu, who had nothing to do, and Tang Wu also chose to attack the goal without exception. Unfortunately, none of the three free-kicks were kicked into the woodwork.

"Oh! Oh, my God! If the ball is a little lower, it will be scored! A Reds fan who came with the team hugged his head and said regretfully.

That's right, although Tang Wu's three free kicks were not on target, but from the point of view of the ball path, one goal is more accurate than the other. In particular, the final ball grazed the crossbar of West Brom and flew out of bounds.

This is enough to get the fans excited, and they will become Liverpool's youngest goalkeeper in league history!

In the 89th minute, Liverpool scored the last goal of the game.

Gerrard crossed diagonally from the left side of the penalty area, and Luis Garcia flanked the goal in the middle to lock the score at 6-0.

Such a hearty victory swept away the depression of Liverpool fans for more than two months.

It's been a long time since Liverpool have won so big!

All the Reds fans were like sailors who saw the sun after a storm, shouting wildly from the stands one by one.

After the game, Reds captain Steven Gerrard looked excited and said to the camera: "Chelsea? Oh no, I'm not going to Chelsea! ”

'Since my first appearance for Liverpool, the fans here have been hugely supportive. We're home and away and I can feel the power of the fans behind me to push me forward. ”

'I've turned down Chelsea once this summer and it's not hard for me to turn them down again.

"Also, the offer for Real Madrid and Barcelona was also rejected by me."

"I've had a good talk with the club and I'm not leaving!"

"This year, my daughter was born here and I'm going to stay in Liverpool and take care of my girlfriend and daughter."

"I'm going to develop Lily into a Liverpool fan because I love this city so much, this team!"

'In the days to come, I want to do my best to get as many honours as possible for Liverpool and I really want to be a part of that success.'

"Here, I have the best teammates and the most sincere fans in the world, and we will succeed!"

The next day, looking at Gerald, who was holding his daughter with one hand and his girlfriend with the other, Tang Wu smiled slightly and said to himself: "It seems that you have finally made a choice." ”
