The Whites were desperately trying to reach the Champions League again when they visited Filbert Street in March 2002. A 2-0 win earned them a third win in a row; a spurt of form just as David O’Leary needed it, even if the dawn would prove to be a false one. The goals came from Mark Viduka and Robbie Fowler who had previously scored a hat-trick for Liverpool on the ground earlier that season, prior to his £11m transfer to Elland Road. In later years Fowler described the win as “one of my better games of the club”; by his own admission, no particularly great claim. “I left feeling pretty satisfied with myself, not least because that win put us back on track a bit and gave us an outside chance of making the Champions League,” he wrote in his autobiography.
