00:00...of the towering figures in the illustrious history of Liverpool Football Club.

00:06And it's a reinvigorated Liverpool who might, might win the league in what is a transitional season.

00:13And they begin this second leg as probably most people's favourites to win this competition.

00:23Welcome is not all that warm for the former Fulham man, Elliot, who delivers.

00:30It's been through big battles in the past.

00:35Marwin Nunez.

00:40I'm about to catch Berlino out, but...

00:49...potential from this Pereira corner.

00:54Which was met in plenty of space by João Paglínia.

00:58Well, they've cleared a massive hole in the middle of Liverpool's penalty area.

01:04Watch the way this hole just develops.

01:07Jimenez comes out, leaves the space.

01:10Here's Paglínia.

01:12And you would fancy it.

01:13He's picked out beautifully by Pereira.

01:16He has to keep that down.

01:18Keeps it down every chance he finds the back of the net.

01:21Well, this is what I was talking about before the game, this season he is so much more in an attacking sense.

01:35Look at where he comes from, Robinson. They work it well, Willian gets it, Robinson's on his bike.

01:49And then there's a massive touch here from Kelleher, because if he doesn't get a touch on...

01:52Remarkable in itself, but not the full wind in his sails.

02:02Ooh, and Luis Diaz has an opportunity here!

02:06Which he takes!

02:07He's squeezed it in beyond Berleno.

02:12And Liverpool tighten their grip.

02:19Closer and closer to Wembley.

02:22Well, on fine margins, do games get decided?

02:27And whilst Fulham have had a couple, Paglínia's chance from the corner in particular.

02:34Liverpool didn't need the help, but they've got it.

02:37Because Berleno really has to stop this from finding the back of the net.

02:43Who'd be a goalkeeper?

02:44Because they had a brilliant season.

02:45But that is excellent from Luis Diaz.

02:48But it doesn't appear to arrive at Leno with an awful lot of pace on it.

02:56That's excellent from Diaz.

02:58Does it take a nick?

02:59It does.

03:00It does.

03:01But I still think, having got a cross there, I think the goalkeeper's got to be stronger.

03:09Got to have a stronger hand.

03:10It's got to keep that out.

03:12It's a massive mistake.

03:15Mountain to climb.

03:18And a rueful Marco Silva.

03:28And those feelings will be double that.

03:32Trouble.

03:34The break is on for Liverpool.

03:37This time included in the squad.

03:42When he's available, there's only one decision to make, isn't there?

03:46No, Jimenez!

03:48And Kelleher's there again.

03:49To the player.

04:04And Bradley, such a willing runner, but he'll use him by not using him.

04:10Gravenberg!

04:10Well, Nunez was in behind him.

04:14I'm not sure whether Gravenberg's attempt has taken this off, Darwin Nunez.

04:21I mean, back.

04:23Gravenberg seizing upon that with urgency.

04:26Good leave that by Nunez.

04:27Luis Diaz with another opportunity.

04:31Betwixt and between, but retrieved by Gakfo.

04:34Bradley's on the scene as well.

04:37Elliot.

04:41Well.

04:51Leaves it cleverly.

04:53Then this pass from Luis Diaz, it just goes behind everybody.

05:00It's almost at that moment you do feel opportunity gone.

05:04Nunez a fair bit to do.

05:07Tosin has been drawn out.

05:11Stania now taking up the central station.

05:18Gomez.

05:18On American International, blessed in that department.

05:28Luis Diaz making promising progress here.

05:32Gakpo adjusting.

05:36He put over-read it, taking up an interesting position there.

05:40Here's Kearney again.

05:41Now Willian.

05:45Oh, it won't be Kelleher's.

05:47Perena!

05:47The angle proved just too tight off the post, but the break is menacing.

05:57Darwin Nunez.

05:58Harvey Elliott!

06:02Well, that would have been the ultimate of cruelness, wouldn't it?

06:05Against Fulham.

06:10McAllister.

06:12Well, lots of players with their hands on their heads.

06:15Kelleher first really nervous moment.

06:21Tosin gets up really well.

06:24It's trying to find Dick Ordova-Reed, but it falls to Perera.

06:26He just can't squeeze it in.

06:27He just can't squeeze it in.

06:29The angle's tight.

06:31You'll see from this just how tight on his weaker left foot.

06:34Oh, desperately unlucky, desperately unlucky, but it would have been even more unlucky.

06:41Had Harvey Elliott smash that one in the back of the net.

06:44Crimson that followed.

06:45Crimson that followed.

06:47Castagne.

06:50Might break for Perera here, but situation negotiated.

06:56Castagne is vigorously bringing it forward.

07:02Here's Nunez.

07:04Oh, and Leno is able to produce.

07:07And Liverpool comprise our Super Sunday with a return to West London for our Monday night football.

07:15Brentford against Manchester City.

07:19Came off Palina.

07:20Darwin Nunez!

07:21Well, every inch looked in after that turn of quality.

07:30Well, he is right on the top of his game, isn't he?

07:34A little bit fortuitous as to how it gets to him off a couple of Fulham players,

07:38but the 360 pivot is brilliant.

07:41And we're right behind this shot.

07:42It did look in until its final couple of yards of its journey.

07:45It just bends away from that far post.

07:51It was used to call the worst stage to lose at.

08:00Oh, and a burst here from Wilson.

08:05Well, fraction.

08:06Leading from the first leg, and it was early goals that did for them at Middlesbrough in 1998.

08:12Palina.

08:15And off for all Jimenez.

08:17Into the grateful grasp of Kelleher.

08:19These things like that would just make you wonder

08:22if it's just not simply going to be their night.

08:25This could easily have landed and stuck.

08:30Because he is one of the two about to be withdrawn.

08:37It will be Kearney who delivers in any case.

08:40Willie-Anne.

08:41Well, would you believe it?

08:42Would you believe it?

08:43Would you believe it?

08:45I mean, look, credit to them because they have never given up at any point,

08:49And he stayed up. Good work by Wilson.

09:06Well, would you believe it? Would you believe it?

09:10I mean, look, credit to them, because they have never given up at any point in this game.

09:15You've just got the most unlikely goalscorer, probably on the pitch.

09:21I'll tell you what, he stays up.

09:26This is brilliant work from Harry Wilson.

09:30And he just fires it into that dangerous air.

09:33It's actually a brilliant, deliberate thigh of a finish.

09:37It's brilliant. It's the finish that any striker would be very, very proud of.

09:43Look at this.

09:45Takes a deflection, he just stays it.

09:48Into the corner.

09:50Incredible finish and game on again.

09:56Well.

10:03Willian.

10:04Go to the table.

10:05I have a good idea.

10:07Set a table.

10:08Go to the table.

10:09Go to the table.

10:10Go to the table.

10:24Go to the table.

10:25Go to the table.
