Report: LFC Legends come from behind to beat Man Utd Legends

Liverpool FC Legends won the Legends of the North crown after beating their Manchester United counterparts 2-1 at Anfield on Saturday.

Holding a 3-1 advantage from the first leg in May, the Reds came from a goal down to win the LFC Foundation charity match thanks to efforts from Mark Gonzalez and Florent Sinama-Pongolle.

Gonzalez's effort in the 47th minute cancelled out an early opener from Dimitar Berbatov, before Sinama-Pongolle clinched victory with a well-taken finish towards the end.

The hosts fell behind with just seven minutes on the clock.

A switch of play from Michael Carrick was nudged into the path of Berbatov by Danny Pugh, with the United striker's first-time finish leaving Jerzy Dudek with no chance.
