Kostas Tsimikas sent Edouard Mendy the wrong way and so began the charge of the Red Brigade, a group of men delirious with their latest success.
At the back of the posse, though, your eye was drawn to Virgil van Dijk. Plenty of his team-mates had gone from standing to sprinting in the blink of an eye but Liverpool’s No 4 could do nothing more than hobble, looking as if he was trying to negotiate a shingly beach bare-footed.
Rare are the days when Van Dijk doesn’t finish a game he has started.
