The ebb and flow meant it was hard to take your eyes off of it as Liverpool twice battled back to level, led at one stage before having to settle for a draw.It was a game that was played at a high tempo throughout and gave reasons for encouragement for both sets of fans.

This was a classic in every sense, just one goal short of the seven in the great Anfield shootout between these two clubs 28 years ago, and a night when Liverpool thought they had a season-defining win only for it to be snatched away.
