Meeting Expectations: The Weekend

Liverpool emerge victorious from a game that everyone thought was a step too far for Jurgen's profligate Reds. But despite dominating for large swathes of the fixture Liverpool's wastefulness in front of goal saw them nearly come a cropper late in the game.

This time we travel back to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, on May 12, 2001, for an FA Cup final between Liverpool and Arsenal which is often attributed to one man’s efforts alone. Telling the story of that day are former Liverpool players Sander Westerveld, Stephane Henchoz, Jamie Carragher, Emile Heskey, Gary McAllister, Patrik Berger and (of course) Michael Owen; the assistant manager at the time, Phil Thompson; the referee on the day, Steve Dunn; journalists Chris Bascombe, Oliver Kay, Amy Lawrence and Clive Tyldesley; and supporters Gareth Roberts, Kevin Walsh and Dan Morgan.
