10 Most Legendary Substitutes In Football History

Liverpool’s inability to break Everton down prompted Klopp to substitute Roberto Firmino allowing Origi on the pitch who snatched a dramatic last-gasp 1-0 win for Liverpool over their Merseyside rivals.

Origi had his first chance to be the hero, in the 87th minute turning a close-range shot against the crossbar. Virgil van Dijk tried his luck with a 25-yard volley in the final seconds and miscued it so badly, except the spin on the ball took it high and then down and, suddenly, Pickford watched it drop. Clearly concerned as to where the ball was going with its backspin, Pickford finger-tipped it from above the crossbar and it bounced on to the bar again and then fell for Origi who headed into the unguarded net from barely a yard out.

Klopp tore on to the pitch, running half its width to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson – and later apologised for his wild response – while Everton were left utterly stunned.

Chasing a first win at Anfield since 1999, Everton created the better of the openings in the first half but were defeated by Liverpool’s Belgium sensation Origi, who came off the bench to grab the headlines for the most bizarre winning goal in football history.
