Liverpool completed a remarkable comeback last night when they came from 1-3 down to down Borussia Dortmund 4-3. Origi, Coutinho, Sakho and Dejan Lovren were the heroes.
Everyone watching the game went nuts at the sheer audacity of it with many remembering a similarly unlikely comeback against AC Milan on their way to Champions League glory in 2005.
One Liverpool fan was watching the drama unfold from a hospital where his wife was in the process of giving birth.
As Dejan Lovren headed in to complete the unbelievable comeback, the new expectant father called BBC Five Live to say he would mark the feat by naming his son ‘Dejan’, after the Reds’ hero.
Michael, who was watching it all from the hospital waiting room, pledged to honour Liverpool’s new hero after Lovren’s goal sent Jurgen Klopp’s side through to an unlikely Europa League semi-final.
Liverpool go into the Semi final where Villareal await. The Europa League represents their last chance to win a trophy this season.
