Divock Origi looked certain to leave the club after Daniel Sturridge's loan ending and Dominic Solanke's emergence as one of the best English prospects, and the Belgian was looking for a way out of Anfield. Everton were also mooted as a potential destination for the striker, but the Toffees were priced out of a move, having already spent significant funds in securing deals for Richarlison and others earlier in the window.

Well, aren't the Anfield faithful glad he stayed with them tonight? The forgotten man was the one who gave his side all the points on offer, keeping them just two points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Origi has been training with the squad and lining up for the U-23s in recent weeks in an attempt to maintain fitness levels before the transfer window, and Jurgen Klopp decided to give the former prospect a run in at the death of the game, and Origi came out, clinching the winning goal and all 3 points for his side in the final minute of the game.
