LIVERPOOL CRUISE ON

Liverpool breezed to a 3-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Matchday Two of the UEFA Champions League.
Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring early on, before Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard ensured a solitary strike from Danny Koevermans was nothing more than a consolation.
The hosts dominated proceedings from the off and it came as no surprise when they opened the scoring after just four minutes.
Fernando Torres' volley from a Gerrard corner was well kept out by Andreas Isaksson, but the former Manchester City was unable to prevent Kuyt smashing the rebound through his grasp and into the roof of the net.
PSV produced little going forward and looked lacklustre throughout, before falling further behind on 34 minutes.
Torres did well to create space on the right and the Spaniard swung over a cross for Keane to volley home his first goal for the club.
On a landmark night, Gerrard then bagged his 100th goal for the Reds on 76 minutes when he smashed a 30-yard drive past a helpless Isaksson.
PSV snatched a lifeline two minutes later when Koevermans restored some respectability to the scoreline, but the game had long since gone for the Dutch outfit.
