#6 Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle United (1995-96)

Stan Collymore scored a late winner to help Liverpool come out on top in one of the games of the decade

The 1996 season will forever be remembered for Newcastle United’s epic fall from grace as they let go of a 12 point lead to concede the title to Manchester United. However, who would have thought that the Red Devils’ biggest rivals Liverpool had a positive part to play in that.

The game, which was played at Anfield, was a classic in every sense and it truly kicked off with Robbie Fowler opening the scoring for the Reds. However, Newcastle quickly equalised via Les Ferdinand in the 10th and before Liverpool could reorganise themselves, they were in the back seat as David Ginola scored just 4 minutes later to give the Magpies the lead.

While Robbie Fowler did score early in the 2nd half to bring parity to the game, it seemed that Newcastle would take the 3 points from the game when Faustino Asprilla restored the lead for Kevin Keegan’s side. But the game was not done yet as Stan Collymore rose to the occasion and made it a game that he will forever be remembered for.

He equalised in the 68th minute and it was not until very late in the game, in fact, stoppage time of the second half, that he truly made the game memorable. After being involved in a one-two with the likes of Ian Rush and John Barnes, the Englishman scored, to hand the Reds the deserved victory at home amidst jubilant scenes at the Kop End.
