Football’s enduring popularity owes plenty to its complete unpredictability and its penchant for creating jaw-on-the-floor moments.

Another moment for the archives was created on Sunday when Liverpool, locked at 1-1 with West Brom and needing a win to keep their Champions League hopes alive, won a corner in the 95th minute.

An outstanding performance at Old Trafford means that Liverpool’s hopes of a top-four finish are in their hands.

The season-long theme of one step forward, two steps back continued for Liverpool in the Bernabeu on Tuesday.

It seems almost a lifetime ago when Liverpool last played a game. It was March 15, to be precise, when the Reds defeated Wolves courtesy of a Diogo Jota goal, and after success against RB Leipzig in the Champions League as well there was the tiniest slither of momentum being gathered in a season wholly lacking in it. And then along came the international break to spoil everything.

Not playing in the Premier League and not playing at Anfield. It’s a strange recipe for success, but once again Liverpool showed that their bizarre season can have its upsides with an excellent win over RBB Leipzig on Wednesday.
