INJURY-TIME equalisers never go out of fashion. Never have, never will. There’s something fabulous about them. But before we get stuck into this — next season, next season, next season… Next season: Chelsea will be good. Chelsea will be very good....
LIVERPOOL won and played well. Liverpool opened the scoring in the 36th minute. Liverpool doubled their advantage in the 77th minute. Two nils don’t get any more regulation and we’ve forgotten what they feel like. It is what you are supposed to want....
