25 minutes remaining, three goals required. Game over? Not on your life.

They compared it to Istanbul. Some people. It was no Champions League final - and there'll probably never be a campaign like that - but the turnaround at Anfield on Thursday night was truly special.

But the Kop didn't know it. They refused to know it. And, inch by inch, the team lifted from the ashes and rose to greatness to record yet another famous night at Anfield. One of The famous nights at Anfield. With that though, there's adversity to overcome.
