Djibril Cisse says Liverpool’s comeback victory in the 2006 FA Cup final was “another Istanbul”.
Liverpool went behind 2-0 and 3-2 to West Ham but a Cisse goal and a double from Steven Gerrard – including a stunning stoppage-time equaliser from long range – paved the way for a penalty shoot-out win.
Cisse had come off the bench in Istanbul as Liverpool came from 3-0 down against AC Milan to win the Champions League final a year earlier, and the memories of both games are clearly just as strong.
