January 1981: League Cup semi-final

En route to winning the League Cup for the first time, Liverpool were paired with City in a two-legged semi-final. Ray Kennedy’s 81st-minute goal at Maine Road gave Bob Paisley’s side the advantage going into an Anfield decider that saw the hosts book a place at Wembley. In front of an expectant home crowd, Kenny Dalglish got the Kop roaring when he increased the aggregate scoreline with an early opener and, despite Kevin Reeves pulling a goal back for City, the Reds marched on to the final.
