I would like to share my personal favourite games from last season that I attended. I was lucky enough to attend a lot of games so here is number 3.
So to start my second favourite game. 22nd December 2021. The Reds faced Leicester in the League Cup Quarter Final with many changes and youngsters having chances to play. The atmosphere was disrupted within the first 10 mins due to Jamie Vardy opening the scoring, then 4 minutes later completing his brace. Oxlade-Chamberlain brought back a goal however 19 minutes into the game but only to be flattened by a James Maddison screamer.
Diogo Jota, James Milner and Ibrahima Konate being introduced at half time led to a huge change in the tempo of the game, a Jota goal from a Minamino assist led to the gap decreasing.
The pressure continued from Liverpool and the chances came thick and fast, the atmosphere had completely changed from what it was after being 2-0 down, nerves had risen but there was a sense of belief in the air, a belief that all Liverpool fans have at every game, this is what makes our club special.
Finally, in the 95th minute of the game for 1 minute remaining, Takumi Minamino found a leveller from a magnificent ball from Milner over the top. Anfield erupted and after that all fans knew the game was won, Leicester were shocked and were deflated by a fantastic Liverpool performance.
The game was then won on penalties through Kelleher keeping the Foxes out with 3 great saves and Jota scoring the winning penalty.
The game was an emotional rollercoaster and surely every second of it was enjoyed by Liverpool fans. It’s a game most may forget but it’s also a game that can’t be forgotten by some. It will stick with me forever.
Stay tuned for No2 and No1!!
