Dennis Bergkamp's skillful goal was overshadowed in this match by a staggering three red cards given by referee Mike Riley on the day.
What was even more amazing was that it took only four minutes for tempers to flare and the cards to be issued.
First, Martin Keown was dismissed for a foul on Michael Owen, then Dennis Bergkamp was given his marching orders after lashing out at Jamie Carragher. Finally, it was Carragher himself who was sent off for hurling a coin into the stands.
