I was there that day.... Great win for Wimbledon 💙💛 and also with Michael Owen then scoring and going on the following year to play for England at the World Cup Finals.

[@johndawson5556]

Should have started Owen. He was a prodigy.

[@danapussyone]

Come on you DONS!!! Best ever Wimbledon team IMO.

Sir Trevor Brooking summed it up Liverpool had so many chances in that month period to get back into the title conversation and threw them away. Losing to Coventry the day after United slipped up at home to Derby, dropped points in the merseyside derby against Everton where Robbie Fowler was sent off which meant he was suspended for the remainder of that season and now this. If they had won this game it would have gone to the final day with United dropping points against Newcastle 2 days after this which was their 3rd draw on the bounce.

Well it was typical of that liverpool team, bollockless and soft as shit

It didn't help Liverpool that Coventry was very much a Bogey team for them (similar to Wimbledon in some ways), that Everton were tough opponents to face in derby matches (and that Fowler got sent off and resultantly suspended), and that Liverpool then had to face another of their Bogey teams (Wimbledon) away from home with winning balls in the air not being their strong point.
