Goal: Hammond
- It is impossible to clearly say who scored the fourth goal for Liverpool. None of the Liverpool paper’s give any clear view on the matter. Mercury, above, says the goal came from a return from the goalkeeper after Lumsden’s shot. Daily Post claims it was rushed through from a “scrimmage,” Courier says that the Liverpool forwards rushed in the fourth goal from a scrimmage. The “scrimmage” mentioned is quite often used in match reports in the old days. So either Marshall, Walker, Finnerhan or Becton scored it.
