Joanna Durkan has picked out some of the biggest moments in Liverpool’s title-winning season, including a massive late win at Brentford:

“Is there anything to say other than, Nunez, Nunez, Nunez?!

“It was the moment, turning what was set to be a frustrating draw into a victory that all but wrapped up the title even though it was still mid-January.

“Slot’s men had 37 shots at Brentford, the most an away team has had in a Premier League game since records began in 2003/04 – we really do love making it hard on ourselves!”

Liverpool FC: On this day

On this day in 1994, Liverpool played their final match in front of the standing Kop.

It was an emotional occasion, but sadly, the Reds didn’t deliver on the pitch, losing 1-0 to Norwich in the Premier League.

Jeremy Goss scored a screamer in front of the Kop, describing it as “the proudest moment of my footballing career.”

Also on this day in 1966, Liverpool won their seventh league title, beating Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield after a Roger Hunt double.
