Liverpool won with two beautiful goals and time turned back for those old enough to recall the artistic football of Kenny Dalglish - as opposed to his managerial attributes or his arid one-liners.
‘We played better today than last time we were here,’ said Dalglish.
‘We looked a better team, especially first half. They were better second half, put us under pressure.'
‘We scored twice as many goals as last time. The last game was pretty defensive. This year we stood up against them. We had a disappointing result and performance at Tottenham. We deserved more than what we got at Stoke. But we’ve kept the players going, kept them ticking over.
‘We wanted to win the game and Glen Johnson’s gone up into their box after 87 minutes. A right back! That shows the commitment’ said the manager post-match.
