Liverpool v Newcastle nostalgia, March 1997: Almost a year after an epic 4-3 encounter won late on by Stan Collymore, lightning struck twice at Anfield. The Reds stormed into a 3-0 lead through McManaman, Berger & Fowler but were stunned when the Geordies hauled themselves level in the last 20 minutes through Gillespie, Asprilla & Barton until Robbie Fowler's stoppage-time header saved Roy Evans' side's blushes.
