Back in 2008, English clubs consistently ruled Europe. Manchester United and Chelsea had reached the Champions League semi-finals, with Liverpool and Arsenal fighting for a place alongside them.

The first leg at the Emirates finished 1-1, leaving the tie as open as ever. Goals from Abou Diaby and Sami Hyypia made it 1-1 on the night at half-time. But the second half was one of the greatest in Anfield's illustrious history.

Fernando Torres produced a world-class effort to give Liverpool the lead, sending the Anfield crowd into a roar. However, Emmanuel Adebayor made it 2-2 with around five minutes to go. As things stood, the Gunners were going through on away goals.

But then, we saw the real magic of a European night at Anfield. Steven Gerrard perfectly slotted home a penalty to make it 3-2, before Ryan Babel scored on the counter to end the tie once and for all. It was truly a special night.
