Life's a beach (ball) for Liverpool

Sunderland's controversial winner on Saturday should really have gone down as a Liverpool own goal - as the fateful beachball is official Anfield merchandise.

The blown-up plastic toy was part of an LFC beachset recently reduced to £10 in club shops.

Now the set is out of stock... and, given Saturday's events, is not likely to return to the shelves in a hurry.

PS: Liverpool's David Ngog came on with five minutes remaining in Saturday's loss at Sunderland and didn't do much.

There's no truth in the rumour that Steve Bruce then named him man of the match.
