Notes

  • - Jimmy Walsh makes his LFC debut
  • - Jimmy Walsh scores his first LFC goal
  • Due to heavy rain and bad light, there were concerns about the match being finished, meaning the players had no half time break , instead changing ends and restarting the game immediately. Chambers scored the 5th and 6th goals in the last half hour of the game.
