After losing the title with the last kick of the 1988-89 season to Arsenal, Kenny Dalglish's charges showed they were well and truly determined to get their crown back against Steve Coppell's Eagles.
On an emotional night in front of the Kop, the Reds were quite simply breathtaking.
Goals from Steve Nicol, Steve McMahon and Ian Rush put the Reds in the driving seat at half-time.
Gary Gillespie and Peter Beardsley then got in on the act before a penalty was awarded in front of the Kop.
Dalglish quickly sent on John Aldridge, who was playing his final game for his beloved Reds, and the Scouser duly netted to make it 6-0.
