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
02:24We need a Scottish man-of
02:27We need a Scottish man-of
02:29We need a Scottish man-of
02:32Howick
02:38Harman
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
04:13Scherrer
04:14Scherrer, Scherrer
04:15Continuing the run
04:16A tremendous back
04:17Ball back to him by Scherrer
04:19But the shot, not quite so tremendous
04:24Bags of ambition from Laurent Scherrer
04:26Who scored a spectacular goal in a recent
04:28Newcastle away match at Middlesbrough
04:31He kept on going
04:32Scherrer recognised where he was
04:36But Scherrer put the ball into the
04:38Kop stand, rather than into the goal
04:40Trave put the ball into the
04:42Kop stand, rather than into the back of the Liverpool net
04:46Lovely link up for Liverpool
04:47Although McManaman's gone down and stayed down
04:50Attack goes on with Higgum
04:53Taking on Pearce
04:54Still
04:55They got Higgum
04:56And
04:58The cutback didn't reach Owen
05:00How he saw to that
05:02And
05:03Recognising McManaman's plight
05:07Puts the ball out
05:10Well, Steve McManaman did have a
05:11Brief outing at Middlesbrough
05:12As a substitute
05:16And he's been
05:17Fouled here by Hamann
05:21He was shown the yellow card
05:30Well, Steve McManaman
05:32Hasn't lasted 25 minutes
05:35And he's come back to the starting
05:36Line-up for Liverpool 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 Hamann
05:52For which the German was booked
05:56And he's very crestfallen
06:01So it's an opportunity
06:04For Steven Gerrard
06:07Who's only 18
06:09And has played in the first team
06:10Three times recently
06:15Ferger
06:17Back for Burnaby again
06:18Three in the centre for Liverpool
06:21Comes off the head of Howey
06:24Howey trying to knock it back in
06:25Towards Riedler
06:29Foulers flick on
06:30Ferguson breathing fire all around
06:33Jamie Carragher
06:34And getting the ball when the odds
06:35Were against him
06:36For Newcastle
06:38Pearce
06:44Here's Speed
06:47Caught by Redknapp
06:48Who's
06:50Had a whole cluster of yellow cards
06:53This season for club and for country
06:55But he's not booked there
07:01And Newcastle do have a free-kick
07:09Now Howey has joined Ferguson and Shearer
07:11Gary Speed who's excellent in the air
07:13As part of a four-man Newcastle strikeforce going in
07:19And a Solano
07:21He's drilled it past David James
07:23And Newcastle United
07:25Lead at Anfield in the 29th minute
07:29And a really power-packed goal from the Peruvian
07:34Mock faint 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
07:52Who made it difficult for Bab
07:55And it simply flew past David James
07:59And it simply flew past David James
08:05But while we're concentrating on that
08:08Steven Lodge
08:11Has seen
08:12Another offence by
08:14Hamann
08:15One can only assume because of the reaction
08:19He's got a second
08:20Yellow card, the German
08:22So
08:24Delight turns to
08:26Despair
08:27At the moment for Newcastle
08:30No sooner having taken the lead
08:34Than they are
08:36A 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 by referee Steven Lodge
08:51Burnaby
08:52Burnaby
08:55Shearer trying to curb
08:57Berger
09:05Uncovered by Riedler
09:07Misjudged by Howie
09:08Owen
09:17Well he's done
09:18Untold 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 Speed
09:33Good
09:34Work by Newcastle again
09:37To stop
09:38Liverpool
09:40Laying siege to their
09:43Goal
09:44It's
09:46A positive response
09:49From the side that
09:50Within seconds of scoring the only goal so far
09:55Were abruptly reduced to ten men
10:04Newcastle still hold the lead
10:06With three minutes to the first half plus stoppage time
10:09To go
10:12And here's Burnaby
10:14Redknap
10:18Berger finding some space
10:22And 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
10:49Well he thinks he didn't get the last touch
11:03Well Newcastle have had
11:04Plenty of pain in recent times
11:06On this ground
11:07They had some pleasure
11:09From Norberto Solano
11:11With a cracking goal
11:13But within
11:15Seconds of that
11:16Seconds of that
11:18Steven Lodge
11:19Spotting a second bookable offence
11:22For
11:24Divmar 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
11:47David Thompson
11:50Is on for
11:52Steven Gerrard
11:54Who was only on briefly
11:56A substitute for Steve McManaman
12:02Here's Berger
12:17Duncan Ferguson
12:18Not chasing that one
12:19And
12:22Conserving his energies
12:27Newcastle have got their
12:28Substitutes
12:30Warming up as
12:32To whether Ruud Gullit's thinking of
12:35Reacting
12:36To the latest Liverpool change
12:38With a change of his own
12:39Staunton
12:40Trying to drop it through for Redknapp
12:41Great defending by Shearer
12:42But Michael Owen
12:43Takes it
12:45I think
12:48Shea Given
12:50Got something on this one
12:52And that's certainly the reaction
12:53From those behind the goal
12:54And the referee has in fact
12:55Changed his mind
12:58Thompson with the corner
13:01Well Owen's on hand
13:03It was Higgum I think
13:04Who had the first chance
13:05To get the ball
13:06And it was
13:07Higgum
13:08Who had the chance
13:09To get the ball
13:10And it was
13:11Higgum
13:12Who had the chance
13:13Higgum I think
13:14Who had the first shot
13:16And again there are some perplexed
13:18Liverpool's expressions
13:24Not sure if that was an intentional
13:25Style of corner
13:27It came low to Higgum
13:29Given couldn't hang on
13:30Owen was in there in a flash
13:32And it
13:33Flew out
13:35Off cues
13:40Duncan Ferguson
13:41He wasn't moving freely
13:44Goes off
13:45And Andreas Andersen
13:47Comes on
13:55Back home Liverpool
13:58You would expect much of this
13:59Second half
14:00To be played in this half
14:01Of the pitch
14:02Owen
14:04It's over Sade
14:05It's reached Guernsey
14:07Picks out Carragher
14:12It was a cool cross
14:13From Stiginger
14:14Buenabu
14:15Looked to see
14:16What was on
14:18Just leaning back
14:19Jamie Carragher
14:21Missed the target
14:33Newcastle's away record
14:34Generally
14:35Not inspiring too much
14:36Confidence
14:37But
14:39It was
14:40Out comes
14:41James
14:42Andersen
14:43Has scored
14:45And the ten men
14:46Lead by
14:47Two goals to nil
14:51Only one
14:52Previous away win
14:54In the league
14:55This season
14:56And that was way back
14:57In September
14:58At Coventry
15:00And now
15:01Despite being a man down
15:02They have the cushion
15:03Of a second goal
15:04And Andersen
15:06Picked his way
15:07Through some
15:08Tentative defending
15:09Round the goalkeeper
15:10And he just
15:11Managed to
15:12Ease it back in
15:16Well that's
15:17A substitution
15:18That
15:20Has worked for Newcastle
15:21If
15:22Ferguson came off
15:23Maybe injured
15:24But Andreas Andersen
15:25Who's never quite done
15:26What he's done
15:27In his career
15:28Has done
15:29Well
15:30He's
15:31He's
15:32He's
15:33He's
15:34He's
15:35He's
15:36He's
15:37He's
15:38He's
15:39He's
15:40He's
15:41He's

15:57He's
15:58He's
15:59He's
16:00He's
16:01He's
16:02Expectation, really.
16:08They've gone 2-0 adrift now.
16:10Brings tension.
16:11You saw that in Thompson's snapshot.
16:26Carragher.
16:33Carragher!
16:34Carragher!
16:35Carragher!
16:36Carragher!
16:37Carragher!
16:38Carragher!
16:39Carragher!
16:40Carragher!
16:41Carragher!
16:42Carragher!
16:43Carragher!
16:44Carragher!
16:45Carragher!
16:46Carragher!
16:47Carragher!
16:48Carragher!
16:49Carragher!
16:50Carragher!
16:51Carragher!
16:52Carragher!
16:53Carragher!
16:54Carragher!
16:55Carragher!
16:56Carragher!
16:57Carragher!
16:58Carragher!
16:59Carragher!
17:00Carragher!
17:01And by Thompson as well.
17:02You could see what he was trying to do,
17:04although he had to get it beyond one of his own teammates,
17:06Riedler, as well.
17:07Very close.
17:12Here's McAteer.
17:1520 minutes gone in the second half.
17:17Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle United 2.
17:22McAteer's cross.
17:27Given it's there again,
17:28and it's Thompson he's thwarted this time.
17:32Given it's there again,
17:33and it's Thompson he's thwarted this time.
17:35Back come Liverpool again,
17:36one-way traffic now.
17:42Berger.
17:43Good turn.
17:45Made space for himself,
17:46and Givens lost it!
17:47Oh!
17:48But he got there!
17:49Extraordinary goalkeeping,
17:51as Michael Owen moved in for the kill.
17:54Redknapp.
17:58It is a siege at the moment,
18:00on Givens' goal,
18:01but he's repelling it.
18:03Higgins.
18:04And Stuart Pearce slides in.
18:08And has a word or two in passing for Vegard Higgins.
18:11But Michael Owen must have thought
18:15it was a goal for the taking then.
18:19And it was.
18:20It was a goal for the taking then.
18:26Carragher has a crack.
18:27Oh!
18:28And it is deflected in.
18:32Owen.
18:37Givens.
18:40Resistance is broken.
18:44Not the tightest of goals,
18:45but certainly a timely goal.
18:51For Liverpool, Carragher's shot going wide,
18:54but Michael Owen
18:57got a touch for his 14th of the season.
19:13Riedler.
19:15Tidied up by speed.
19:17Schalbe looking for a way out.
19:19He's just got to work it forward in the end.
19:23And it comes back via McAteer
19:25into Newcastle territory.
19:28Bounces off Howie Verheggen,
19:30who sets off at pace
19:31and gets beyond Howie.
19:34Oh, Riedler!
19:38Well claimed for handball this time
19:42by Newcastle.
19:48But not given.
19:49The goal is given.
19:52Karl-Heinz Riedler is the scorer.
19:56They are level.
19:58Hegum sped away.
20:03Now, was that a strike on the arm?
20:05It was certainly a strike
20:06into the back of the net from the German.
20:10Look there.
20:12That's what Newcastle were angry about.
20:15But Steven Lodge raced away
20:17having signalled the goal.
20:19Riedler turned away
20:20in a certain amount of relief
20:22as well as
20:24celebration.
20:31Hegum.
20:33And Given turns it over
20:35from Riedler's header.
20:39A goalkeeper working overtime.
20:44But Liverpool have got the range now.
20:46They've got the bit between their teeth.
20:54You feel the
20:56greatest enemy maybe to Liverpool
20:57in terms of winning the game
20:59is time.
21:03Hegum.
21:08Newcastle fumble back.
21:10Hegum crosses.
21:11Riedler trying to rise.
21:15That's a great piece of defending there by Hughes.
21:33Riedler struggling.
21:37Pierce
21:38unable to get to that now.
21:41Liverpool have used all 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.
21:50And another goal for Michael Owen.
21:54And Liverpool have turned it all around here.
21:582-0 down.
22:01They are 3-2 in front.
22:04And it's Owen
22:07who demoralises Newcastle United
22:10yet again.
22:14Now Riedler was
22:16a reluctant participant there in the centre.
22:19But the ball broke to Redknapp.
22:21Owen's touch there against the post.
22:24He didn't stop and admire that.
22:25He followed it in.
22:29And for all the gallantry of Newcastle United
22:31the handicap of playing with
22:34ten men for so long
22:36is proving to be too great.
22:41Xhavi over.
22:43Good intersection by Berger.
22:45Patrick Berger can take it on.
22:47Here he goes.
22:50He wanted one for himself.
22:51He could have given Owen the chance of
22:53his hat-trick.
22:57It was Patrick rather than hat-trick
22:59which was on the mind of the player with the ball.
23:03But Riedler.
23:06Out comes Given.
23:07Riedler still going.
23:08And Liverpool have surely won it now.
23:11Six minutes left.
23:14Xavi Lee
23:17joins in the rejoicing.
23:20And Karl-Heinz Riedler
23:22who probably would have gone off
23:24if Gerard Hulier got another substitute to use
23:28stayed on
23:30and had the strength and the stealth
23:33to pick away past the gallant Given.
23:39And after a long, long time without a
23:42Premier League goal at Anfield
23:45today Karl-Heinz Riedler
23:47has got two.
23:49Liverpool have four.
23:52Fantastic game.
24:04Speed.
24:08Pierce on the prowl.
24:11Oh, Jorjanis!
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 at Anfield.
24:22But it finishes
24:244-2 in Liverpool's favour
24:27and that's been
24:29another dramatic story
24:31against the club from the north-east
24:33two goals each from Michael Owen
24:36and Karl-Heinz Riedler
24:38led the comeback from being 2-0 down.
24:42Solano
24:43in the 29th minute
24:45and straight after that the sending off of Harman
24:48a pivotal moment in the match
24:50despite the great goalkeeping of Shea Given.
24:52It's Liverpool 4, Newcastle United 2.
24:57That Liverpool-Newcastle fixture never disappoints.
25:00Newcastle's fans weren't quite as distraught
25:02as they had been when they all but lost
25:04the title at Anfield
25:06but Liverpool's fans were ecstatic
25:08at coming from behind once more.
25:10What exactly did Newcastle have to do
25:12to record a win at Anfield?
25:14The result didn't have too much bearing
25:16on the title race though.
25:18Both clubs were in transitionary periods
25:20and finished 7th and 13th respectively.
25:23But once again, they'd entered...
