Man Utd striker Owen happy to wind-up Liverpool crowd

Manchester United striker Michael Owen was happy to wind-up the Anfield crowd for Jamie Carragher's testimonial yesterday.

Owen assumed the role of pantomime villain with a mixed chorus of boos and cheers from the crowd of 35,631 greeting his every touch.

He played up to his new status when his shot struck Jose Baxter's arm for the 44th-minute penalty, pretending to lay claim to the spot-kick before allowing Carragher to take two steps and roll the ball past Iain Turner.
