As the clocked ticked past 98 minutes at the City Ground, it was looking like a day to forget for Liverpool.
Two points dropped at relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest and the initiative in the Premier League title handed back to Manchester City and Arsenal.
By 99 minutes, Darwin Nunez was roaring in celebration, kicking the advertising hoardings in front of a mass of flailing arms and legs in a disbelieving away end.
From two points dropped to three gloriously gained, Liverpool were moving four points clear at the top of the table.
Should they go on to lift the trophy in May then this is surely one of the games they will look back on as a key moment.
