da betway： Very rarely does Wembley host such exciting, closely fought cup finals these days. But in 2006 we were treated to one which we stick in the mind of football fans for years to come. Steven Gerrard, not for the first or last time, came to Liverpool’s rescue as West Ham looked certain to upset the odds and win their first FA Cup in 26 years.
da pixbet： Twice the Liverpool skipper scored to bring his side level, with the second being an absolute screamer inside injury time. The game looked over as a contest as early as the 28th minute when Dean Ashton added to Jamie Carragher’s own goal to put the Hammers 2-0 up.
But Gerrard did what he does best and carried his side from the brink of defeat. The game went to penalties which Liverpool went on to win (no surprise Gerrard found the net from the spot) but only after Marlon Harewood missed a sitter with seconds remaining.
Whoever thinks the excitement has gone out of the FA Cup need only to watch this clip…
