Notes

  • - Just before halt-time Liverpool were awarded a penalty, but Lambert's shot was turned onto the bar by Powell and the keeper cleared.

    - Liddell's penalty came in the second half and was Liverpool's third goal. The goal minute is missing.

    - LFChistory credits Fagan with an assist for Brierley's goal contrary to Liddell by the Guardian. We always favour the Echo as they offer more details.
