To understand the true magnificence of this moment you must understand the bitter, bitter rivalry that exists between the two teams, separated by 35 miles of motorway. There is quite simply no better victory in all the world than Liverpool stuffing Man Utd, which they did on the 22/1/02, and the previous match of 4/11/01, and the previous match of 31/3/01, and the previous match of 17/12/00. :-) Why, oh why do Man U keep winning the league? :-(
That match (22nd January 2002 - you're a little out of date, but I'm glad it was on at all) was the one where Liverpool had won just one of the preceding nine league games and Man Utd had won their previous eight. Liverpool went along to Old Trafford (Man U's ground) and kicked their arses, with Danny Murphy putting in the winner in the 85th.
