The ‘incredible’ ending to Liverpool’s 4-3 victory over Borussia Dortmund on this day in 2016 was a key step in the team’s evolution under Jürgen Klopp, explained match-winner Dejan Lovren.
The Europa League quarter-final between Klopp’s current and former clubs was delicately balanced ahead of the second leg at Anfield following a 1-1 draw in Germany the previous week.
But Dortmund punctured the Reds’ hopes of moving into the last four when Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted inside 10 minutes, before Marco Reus restored a two-goal cushion after Divock Origi had struck.
Further goals from Philippe Coutinho and Mamadou Sakho hauled Liverpool level but with the tie heading into added time the visitors held the advantage on away goals.
