LISTEN: Liverpool legend John Aldridge almost choked on his elation after Dejan Lovren’s winner

Lost it

It’s lucky that John Aldridge is a commentator for LFCTV because we don’t think he’d be able to hide his bias on Sky Sports or BT Sport.

The former Liverpool striker simply couldn’t keep a lid on his excitement after Dejan Lovren headed home the vital winner at Anfield in the second leg of the Reds’ Europa League tie with Borussia Dortmund.

The divisive centre-half completed a historic come-from-behind win with his 91st minute header, just half-an-hour after Liverpool found themselves trailing 4-2 on aggregate and in need of three vital goals goals.

After Philippe Coutinho and Mamadou Sakho did their part to restore parity on the night, Lovren nodded home a James Milner cross to secure the Reds’ safe path into the semi-finals.

And Aldo will almost certainly have no voice this morning after his rapturous reaction to the deciding header.
