Reds' Penalty Shootout Victory After 10-goal Thriller

























Oh me, oh my!!

Wednesday’s EFL game was our turn against Arsenal and it was an edge-of-your-seat 10-goal thriller. It was a straight-out maddening and absolutely nerve-wracking game – there were five goals in each half, including a penalty and an own goal.

It's attacking football and defensive errors. Check out the Liverpool versus Arsenal score changes: 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4, 4-4, 4-5, 5-5.

So with a 5-5 draw, it was down to penalties! 

And when Caoimhin Kelleher saved Gunner Dani Ceballos' attempt, we sealed a 5-4 shootout win. Of course, the match-winning moment arrived when Curtis Jones coolly thumped the final penalty in off the post to make it five from five in front of the Kop. 

The Reds have reached the quarter-finals on a crazy, crazy, crazy night! 

Last evening, I was summoned to the LEAP Leadership Academy in D’Alpinia Business Park in Puchong, Selangor for the LEAP Toastmasters meeting. 

I had been requested to evaluate an Advanced speech from The Professional Speaker manual – a “Speaking to Entertain” speech from fellow Shah Alam Toastmaster member, Zarina Abu Bakar. 

She always speaks with consummate elegance and yesterday, was no exception. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised at all that she was voted Best Speaker. And I was also voted Best Evaluator.
