Notes

  • Liverpool’s away game was played at Anfield because Springfield Park did not meet safety standards, with the away terrace having had its capacity cut to just 378.
    - Steve Staunton became the first Liverpool player to score a hat trick after coming on as a sub. Steven Gerrard achieved the same feat against Napoli in 2010-11.
