LIVERPOOL FC: ON THIS DAY: MARCH 21, 2006

Liverpool sent the travelling Kop into seventh heaven as Rafael Benitez's men clinched their record away victory in the FA Cup at the expense of Birmingham City.

/noticias.info/ Steve Bruce's side had been somewhat of a bogey side for the Reds in previous years, but never looked likely to pull off a shock when Sami Hyypia gave Liverpool the lead with just one minute on the clock.

The visitors were in ruthless mood and further goals from Peter Crouch (2), Fernando Morientes, Olivier Tebiliy (og), John Arne Riise and Djibril Cisse wrapped up an astonishing 7-0 win to send the Reds into the semi-finals.

Elsewhere on this day in LFC history goals from Ronnie Whelan (2), Craig Johnston and Ian Rush gave us a 4-1 victory over Sven Goran Eriksson's Benfica side in the second leg of our European Cup Third Round tie, while in 1973 a solitary strike from Kevin Keegan led us to a 1-0 triumph in a UEFA Cup Fourth Round second leg at Dynamo Dresden.

It was also a proud day for Steven Gerrard this time last year as he was presented with his MBE by the Queen. notas_de_prensa_archivo
