Anfield has produced enough 89th-minute swings that longtime supporters treat a 1-0 scoreline after 85 minutes as unfinished business rather than a result. Steven Gerrard's heroics against Olympiacos in 2004, the three goals inside six second-half minutes against Milan in Istanbul – these are not freak outliers to anyone who has watched Liverpool for a decade. Yet odds compilers keep pricing a goal after the 85th minute as though it belongs in the same bracket as a red card inside the first ninety seconds.
