Red's Roar Through!... Just!
Liverpool 6-2 Mlada Boleslav
(6-5 on aggregate)
Oliver Emmerson's young Liverpool side dramatically scraped through in their Europa League 3rd round qualifier.
After being dominated and losing 3-0 in the 1st leg, LFC had it all to do against their czech opponents.
Things started well for the reds with Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge goals putting them 2-0 up after 12 minutes. Things then took a turn for the worst as Roman Halasaka made it 2-1, but 4-2 on aggregate meaning when the half time whistle blew, Liverpool needed 3 more goals.
When Kamil Gabriel levelled up on the night on the 70th minute mark, it seemed impossible.
But as Emmerson quickly found out, on European nights at Anfield anything can happen. And so it did, the skipper Steven Gerrard pulled once back, and then Raheem Sterling and Phillipe Coutinho got in on the act.
3 goals in 10 minutes had got Liverpool back level on aggregate, but the Czech side were still going through on away goals.
Things looked bleak, until Sterling bombed in a cross, which was knocked down... and up popped 5'6 midfielder Joe Allen with the clincher!
Emmerson mentioned the fans in his post match comments, saying 'The fans have been brilliant towards me, and nights like this tell me that I must get Liverpool back into the Champions league, I appreciate the supporters patience and will be rewarding it by hopefully announcing a few new additions later this week.'
