Without a shadow of doubt, the biggest winner on derby day was Divock Origi. Before the game, most fans would not have known that he was still a Liverpool player. After an uninspiring pre-season, Origi's Liverpool career seemed to be all over.

He has made a couple of substitute appearances this season, including yesterday. A miss from a yard out seemed to signify his recent career progression before the incredible happened.

After a massive stroke of luck, the ball bounced on the crossbar and fell to the head of the striker, who could not miss.

The forgotten man, Divock Origi, had just scored a 96th-minute winner in the Merseyside derby to everyone's shock and amazement. He was the unlikeliest of heroes, giving Liverpool 3 massive points.

But don't forget what this could do for the Belgian striker himself. After a barren couple of years, this goal could catalyse a new-found confidence in him, and help spark his Liverpool career back to life.

This is a massive moment in Origi's young career, a possible turning point. With the massive potential he has shown, Origi might now have more game time coming his way. He still has a part to play at Anfield this season, all thanks to this one goal.
