What an amazing comeback from Liverpool against Borussia Dortmund, after a 4-3 win to send the Reds through 5-4 on aggregate to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Down 2-0 inside eight minutes it looked as if Liverpool were headed for the exit door.
However, in hindsight the visitors will rue missed opportunities to put the game to bed in the first half.
The home side responded after the interval with a lovely finish from Divock Origi to engineer belief around Anfield.
On 57 minutes Marco Reus scored a brilliant goal following a wonderful pass from Mats Hummels to silence Anfield crowd.
The tie was dead and buried, surely? Liverpool had other ideas and a fine Philippe Coutinho curling effort reignited the collective belief inside Anfield.
An unlikely source in Mamadou Sakho poached a goal with his head from close range to set up a grand finale.
With the minutes running out, Liverpool played a short free-kick to Daniel Sturridge who flicked the ball around the corner for an onrushing James Milner to fire an inch-perfect cross to the back post and Dejan Lovren rose highest to send Anfield into ecstasy.
Tonight was another reminder of why football is one of the most powerful mediums in the world.
