Rafa: Alonso should have passed
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted he thought Xabi Alonso should have passed before scoring his stunning goal against Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Alonso struck from his own half of the field for the second time in his Liverpool career as the Reds moved into the top half of the Barclays Premiership with a 2-0 win at Anfield. Alonso's stunning strike came after Dirk Kuyt had given Liverpool the lead with his first goal for the club in the first half.
Benitez said: "I think he (Alonso) played well but I was thinking of telling him off because I was watching (Steven) Gerrard running forward out wide. He could have passed it but in the end it was great vision and congratulations. He practises it all the time and I am always telling him to be careful when shooting from distance."
