00:00Liverpool and Newcastle had a habit of producing some spectacular matches
00:05In successive seasons, Liverpool had beaten the Geordies by four goals to three
00:09In two of the most dramatic encounters the English Premier League had ever seen
00:17For this one, Liverpool were without Paul Ince, who was suspended
00:21And Robbie Fowler, who was injured
00:22German international Karl-Heinz Riedler came in to partner Michael Owen up front
00:27Steve McManaman returned for the Reds and was given the captaincy in Ince's absence
00:33Newcastle had injury problems too
00:35Warren Barton and Rob Lee were out
00:37So Norberto Solano and Dietmar Hamann came back into the side
00:41While Alan Shearer took over as skipper
00:43It was only the second time that Newcastle had been able to pair Shearer with Duncan Ferguson
00:48So goals were on the cards
00:50Your match commentator is Martin Time
00:54Steven Lodge gets the game underway
01:01A return fixture of the match in which Ruud Gullit first saw his new team
01:06That was against Liverpool at St James' Park in August
01:09And Newcastle fell prey to a Michael Owen hat-trick
01:13But here is a chance straight away as Ferguson's shot is turned away by David James
01:20And what an explosive start that would have been
01:22Shearer and Ferguson linking up
01:24Shearer's header, Ferguson's first time shot
01:27A terrific plunge by David James
01:36It comes out to Stuart Pearce
01:39Another potentially goal-bound Newcastle effort inside the first minute of the match
01:47And here's Patrick Berger having to defend
01:49But doing it with a touch of class
01:51And Redknapp
01:55Kicking out Owen
01:57And Aaron Hughes
02:00Halted his progress, the referee let the game go on
02:02Because Higgins was up in support
02:04It's a blistering start here
02:10And now Shearer is caught offside
02:20We need a Scottish man-of
02:22We need a Scottish man-of
02:25We need a Scottish man-of
02:27We need a Scottish man-of
02:29We need a Scottish man-of
02:32We need a Scottish man-of
02:38Hauman
02:40It was the first season in England this
02:45Spoilt by an injury against Liverpool back in August
02:49Here's Riedler
02:51Making a German connection
02:52And Berger's shot, which was deflected
02:54A scrambling save
03:13Pearce
03:20Glass
03:24Had to get away from Higgins in the end
03:29That's lovely play from Redknapp
03:31And Owen
03:32Finding a channel to accelerate into
03:34Riedler's in the centre
03:35But Owen goes for goal and
03:37Given help, the shot on its way over the bar
03:44But Michael Owen was running free
03:46And when he's like this
03:48Like this, there's big trouble for the opposition
04:07McManaman
04:10Bieneve
04:12Back into some traffic
04:13Schaerer
04:14Schaerer, Schaerer
04:15Continuing the run
04:16A tremendous ball back to him by Schaerer
04:19But the shot, not quite so tremendous
04:23Bags of ambition from Laurent Schaerer
04:25Who scored a spectacular goal in a recent
04:27Newcastle away match at Middlesbrough
04:30He kept on going
04:31Schaerer recognised where he was
04:35But Schaerer put the ball into the Kop stand
04:38Rather than into the back of the net
04:40Lovely link-up for Liverpool
04:42Although McManaman's gone down and stayed down
04:45Attack goes on with Higgum
04:48Taking on Pearce
04:49Still
04:50They got Higgum
04:51And
04:53The cut-back didn't reach Owen
04:55How he saw to that
04:57And
04:58Recognising McManaman's plight
05:02Puts the ball out
05:03Steve McManaman did have a brief outing at
05:05Middlesbrough as a substitute
05:10He's been fouled here by Harman
05:14He was shown the yellow card
05:23While Steve McManaman
05:25Hasn't lasted long
05:26And
05:27Hasn't been able to
05:29Get the ball back
05:30While Steve McManaman
05:32Hasn't lasted 25 minutes
05:35And he's come back to the starting line-up for
05:37Liverpool today
05:38Passes the captain's armband to
05:40Jamie Redknapp
05:44Waves of sympathy around the ground
05:46Frustration for the player himself
05:49Caught by that late tackle
05:51By
05:52Harman for which the German was booked
05:56And he's very crestfallen
05:59Substitution for Liverpool
06:01Steve McManaman
06:04For Steve and Gerrard
06:07Who's only 18
06:08Has played in the first team
06:10Three times recently
06:15Berger
06:17Back for Burnaby again
06:18Three in the centre for Liverpool
06:21Comes off the head of Howie
06:24Owen trying to knock it back in towards Riedler
06:29Foulers flick on
06:30Ferguson breathing fire all around
06:33Jamie Carragher
06:34Getting the ball when the odds were against him
06:36For Newcastle
06:38Pearce
06:43Here's Speed
06:47Caught by Redknapp who's
06:50Had a whole cluster of yellow cards
06:53This season for club and for country
06:55But he's not booked there
06:59And Newcastle do have a free kick
07:08Howie has joined Ferguson and Shearer
07:10Gary Speed who's excellent in the air
07:12As part of a four-man Newcastle strikeforce going in
07:17And a Solano!
07:19He's drilled it past David James
07:21And Newcastle United lead at Anfield
07:24In the 29th minute
07:26And a really power-packed goal from the Peruvian
07:34Mock feint of surprise
07:36It certainly shocked
07:38Liverpool
07:39It delighted the Newcastle travelling band
07:42While the free kick
07:43Was only partially cleared
07:47And it ran to
07:49Solano
07:50Off the foot of Shearer
07:52And it's a goal
07:54Off the foot of Shearer
07:56Who made it difficult for Bab
07:59And it simply flew past David James
08:05But while we're concentrating on that
08:08Steven Lodge
08:11Has seen another offence by
08:15Haalman
08:16One can only assume because of the reaction
08:19He's got a second yellow card
08:21The German
08:22So
08:24Delight turns to
08:27Despair at the moment for Newcastle
08:30No sooner having taken the lead
08:34Than they are
08:37A goal down and booking for Shearer for protesting
08:40Well the German who put Steve McManaman out of the game
08:42Has been put out of the game himself
08:44By referee Steven Lodge
08:52Burnaby
08:55Shearer trying to curb Berger
09:05Uncovered by Riedler
09:07Misjudged by Howie
09:08Owen
09:17Well he's done untold damage to Newcastle
09:20In his short time in senior football
09:22Michael Owen
09:23But not that time
09:25And here's Glass
09:26He could have taken that on
09:29It was a real side of goal for him
09:30Ferguson looking for support
09:32It comes from Gary's feet
09:33Good work by Newcastle again
09:37To stop Liverpool
09:41Laying siege to their
09:43Goal
09:44It's
09:47A positive response
09:49From the side that
09:50In seconds of scoring the only goal so far
09:55Abruptly reduced to ten men
10:04Newcastle still hold the lead
10:06Three minutes to the first half
10:07Plus stoppage time
10:09To go
10:12And here's Burnaby
10:14Redknap
10:18Berger finding some space
10:21And the shot was deflected
10:23Good handling by Gibbon
10:24Because any sort of fumble
10:26And Owen would have
10:28Come in to
10:30Pick up the pieces
10:38Well said by Owen
10:40Very shrewdly done
10:41Knew exactly what he was aiming to do
10:43And accomplished it
10:44Higgins cross
10:45In goes Riedler
10:47Well he thinks he didn't get the last touch
11:01Well Newcastle have had
11:02Plenty of pain in recent times
11:04On this ground
11:05They had some pleasure
11:07From Norberto Solano
11:08With a cracking goal
11:11But within
11:13Thirty-two minutes
11:14Within
11:16Seconds of that
11:18Steven Lodge
11:19Spotting a second bookable offence
11:22For
11:24Steve Harman
11:26And he sent off the German
11:29The German who'd been responsible for
11:31Steve McManaman limping out of the match
11:33Earlier on
11:34It's a long road ahead for Newcastle
11:36In the second half with ten men
11:38But at half time at Anfield
11:40They do lead Liverpool by one goal to nil
11:45David Thompson
11:50Is on for
11:52Steven Gerrard
11:54Who was only on briefly
11:56A substitute for Steve McManaman
12:02Here's Berger
12:14Duncan Ferguson
12:15Not chasing that one
12:16And
12:19Conserving his energies
12:24Newcastle have got their substitutes
12:27Warming up as
12:29Some other rude hullets
12:30Thinking of
12:32Reacting
12:33To the latest Liverpool change
12:34With a change of his own
12:35Staunton
12:36Trying to drop it through for Redknapp
12:37Great defending by Staunton
12:38But it's not
12:40Staunton
12:42Trying to drop it through for Redknapp
12:43Great defending by Shearer
12:45But Michael Owen takes it on
12:53Well I think
12:56Shea Given
12:58Got something on this one
13:00That's certainly the reaction
13:01From those behind the goal
13:03And the referee has in fact
13:04Changed his mind
13:07Thompson with the corner
13:09Well
13:10Well Owen's on hand
13:12It was Hegham I think
13:13Who had the first shot
13:15And again there are some
13:16Perplexed
13:17Liverpool's expressions
13:23Not sure if that was an
13:24Intentional style of corner
13:26It came low to Hegham
13:28Given couldn't hang on
13:29Owen was in there in a flash
13:31And it
13:32Flew out
13:34Of Hughes
13:39Duncan Ferguson
13:41Wasn't moving freely
13:44Goes off
13:45And Andreas Andersen
13:47Comes on
13:55Back home Liverpool
13:58You would expect much of
13:59This second half
14:00To be played in this half
14:01Of the pitch
14:02Owen
14:04It's over Chave
14:05It's reached Brunneby
14:07Picks out Carragher
14:16Well it was a cool cross
14:17From Stiginger Brunneby
14:19Looked to see what was on
14:22Just leaning back
14:23Jamie Carragher
14:25Missed the target
14:36Newcastle's
14:37Away record
14:38Generally
14:39Not inspiring too much
14:40Confidence
14:41But here's
14:42Andreas Andersen
14:44Out comes James
14:45Andersen
14:46Has scored
14:48And the ten men
14:49Lead by
14:50Two goals to nil
14:55Only one previous away win
14:58In the league this season
15:00And that was way back in
15:01September at Coventry
15:03And now
15:04Despite being a man down
15:05They have the cushion
15:06Of a second goal
15:10And Andersen
15:12Picked his way
15:13Through some
15:14Tentative defending
15:15Round the goalkeeper
15:16And he just
15:17Managed to
15:18Ease it back in
15:22Well that's
15:23A substitution that
15:26Has worked for Newcastle
15:27If
15:28Ferguson came off
15:29Maybe injured
15:31But Andreas Andersen
15:32Who's never quite
15:33Done himself justice
15:34The Swede
15:35Who played so well
15:36Against England
15:38In that
15:39European qualifier
15:40Earlier this season
15:42Berger
15:48For Redknapp
15:50Bjerneby
15:55Berger
15:56Thompson
15:57Teed up here
15:58Has
15:59Crashed it wide
16:00And Liverpool faltering
16:01Under the burden of
16:02Expectation really
16:05But the fact that
16:06They've gone
16:072-0 adrift now
16:08Brings tension
16:09You saw that in
16:10Thompson's snapshot
16:25Carragher
16:35And almost ran on
16:36For Redknapp
16:39Chave
16:40Break here
16:41For Bjerneby
16:45And now Michael Owen
16:50It was
16:51A better effort from
16:52Thompson this time
16:53He tried to
16:54Steer it with
16:55Some power as well
16:58Into the bottom corner
16:59Good spot by Owen
17:00And by Thompson as well
17:02You could see what he was
17:03Trying to do although
17:04He had to get it beyond
17:05One of his own teammates
17:06Riedler as well
17:07Very close
17:12Here's McAteer
17:1520 minutes gone in the
17:16Second half
17:17Liverpool 0
17:18Newcastle United 2
17:22McAteer's cross
17:27Given it's there again
17:28And it's
17:29Thompson he's thwarted
17:30This time
17:34Back come Liverpool again
17:36One way traffic now
17:42Berger
17:43Good turn
17:45Made space for himself
17:46And Given's lost it
17:47Oh!
17:48But he got there
17:49Extraordinary goalkeeping
17:51As Michael Owen
17:52Moved in for the kill
18:00Redknapp
18:03It is a siege at the moment
18:05On Given's goal
18:06But he's repelling it
18:08Higgum
18:09And Stuart Pearce
18:10Slides in
18:12And has a
18:13Word or two in passing
18:14For Vegard Higgum
18:15But Michael Owen
18:16Must have thought
18:19It was a goal for the
18:20Taking then
18:25Carragher has a crack
18:27Oh!
18:28And it is deflected in
18:30Owen
18:35Given's
18:38Resistance is broken
18:42Not the tightest of goals
18:44But
18:45Certainly
18:46A timely goal
18:50For Liverpool
18:51Carragher's shot going wide
18:52But Michael Owen
18:56Got a touch for his
18:57Fourth goal
18:58Got a touch for his
18:59Fourteenth of the season
19:14Riedler
19:16Tidied up by speed
19:18Schalbe looking for a
19:19Way out
19:20He's just got to
19:21Work it forward in the end
19:24And it comes back via
19:25McAteer
19:26Into Newcastle territory
19:29Bounces off Howie
19:30For Higgum
19:31Who sets off at pace
19:32And gets beyond Howie
19:34Oh!
19:35Riedler!
19:39Well claimed for handball
19:40This time
19:42By Newcastle
19:48But not given
19:49The goal is given
19:52Karl-Heinz Riedler
19:53Is the scorer
19:56They are level
19:58And Higgum
19:59Sped away
20:03Now was that
20:04A strike on the arm?
20:06It was certainly a strike
20:07Into the back of the net
20:08From the German
20:10Look
20:11There
20:12That's what Newcastle
20:13Were angry about
20:16But Steven Lodge
20:17Raced away
20:18Having signalled the goal
20:20Riedler turned away
20:21In a certain amount of relief
20:23As well as
20:25Celebration
20:29Goal!
20:32Higgum
20:34And Gibbon turns it over
20:35From Riedler's header
20:40A goalkeeper working overtime
20:44But Liverpool have got
20:45The range now
20:46They've got the bit
20:47Between their teeth
20:54You feel the
20:56Greatest enemy maybe
20:57In Liverpool
20:58In terms of winning the game
20:59Is time
21:03Higgum
21:08Newcastle fumble back
21:10Higgum crosses
21:11Riedler trying to rise
21:15That's a great piece of
21:16Defending there by Hughes
21:28Go on
21:30Go on
21:34Riedler struggling
21:37Pierce
21:38Unable to get to that now
21:41Liverpool have used
21:42All their substitutes
21:43Riedler
21:44Was going to go off
21:45And join those in the centre
21:47Realising a cross was coming in
21:49Another deflection
21:51And another goal
21:52From Michael Owen
21:54And Liverpool have
21:55Turned it all around here
21:582-0 down
22:01They are 3-2 in front
22:04And
22:05It's Owen
22:07Who demoralises
22:08Newcastle United
22:10Yet again
22:14Now Riedler was
22:16A reluctant participant
22:17There in the centre
22:19But the ball broke to Redknapp
22:21Owen touched there
22:22Against the post
22:24He didn't stop and admire that
22:25He followed it in
22:28And for all the gallantry
22:29Of Newcastle United
22:31The handicap of playing with
22:3310 men for so long
22:36Is proving to be too great
22:41Xhavo
22:42Good intersection by Berger
22:44Patrick Berger can take it on
22:46Here he goes
22:49He wanted one for himself
22:50He could have given Owen the chance
22:52Of his hat-trick
22:57It was Patrick
22:58Rather than hat-trick
22:59Which was on the mind
23:00Of the player with the ball
23:03But Riedler
23:05Out comes Given
23:07Riedler still going
23:10And Liverpool have
23:11Surely won it now
23:13Six minutes left
23:16Sammy Lee
23:19Joins in the rejoicing
23:22And Karl-Heinz Riedler
23:25Who probably would have
23:26Gone off
23:27If Gerard Hulier
23:28Got another substitute to use
23:30Stayed on
23:32And had the strength
23:34And the stealth
23:37To
23:39Pick away past
23:40The gallant Given
23:44And after a long, long time
23:45Without a
23:47Premier League goal
23:48At Anfield
23:50Today Karl-Heinz Riedler
23:52Has got two
23:53Liverpool have four
23:57Fantastic game
24:04Speed
24:08Pierce on the prowl
24:11Oh, George Addis
24:12And
24:14Well, if he'd hit it a bit better
24:16It would have been another 4-3
24:18Between these two sides
24:19At Anfield
24:22But it finishes
24:244-2
24:25In Liverpool's favour
24:27And that's been
24:29Another dramatic story
24:31Against the club from the northeast
24:33Two goals each
24:34From Michael Owen
24:36And Karl-Heinz Riedler
24:38Led the comeback
24:39From being 2-0 down
24:42Solano
24:43In the 29th minute
24:45And straight after that
24:46The sending off of
24:47Harman
24:48A pivotal moment in the match
24:50Despite the great goalkeeping
24:51Of Shea Given
24:52It's
24:53Liverpool 4
24:54Newcastle
24:55United 2
24:57That Liverpool-Newcastle fixture
24:58Never disappoints
25:00Newcastle's fans
25:01Weren't quite as distraught
25:02As they had been
25:03When they all but lost
25:04The title at Anfield
25:06But Liverpool's fans
25:07Were ecstatic
25:08At coming from behind
25:09Once more
25:10What exactly did
25:11Newcastle have to do
25:12To record a win at Anfield
25:14The result didn't have
25:15Too much bearing on
25:16The title race though
25:17Both clubs were in
25:18Transitionary periods
25:20And finished 7th
25:21And 13th
25:22Respectively
25:23Once again
25:24They then take it to Anfield
