Such a crushing game. Defoe had a tap in to an empty net to win the game but didn't get a touch somehow, then the penalty happened.
Even worse is it was also the end for Ledley, it was that game where he started showing he couldn't struggle on any longer.
What's worse is, had Defoe tapped that ball in (or had Bale's cross been slightly more accurate), I'm sure we would have gone and challenge for the league title that season. We had so much momentum at that point of the season, and that was the match in which it suddenly got slowed down.
Same thing happened the season after that one (AVB's first)... we were on fire, couldn't stop adding points, then came the match at Anfield (the one we were winning 2-1 until Walker made a moronic mistake, and we also lost 3-2) and suddenly our title challenging form came to an end.
