A Steve McManaman-inspired Liverpool overcame a plucky Bolton Wanderers to secure a fifth League Cup at Wembley in April, 1995.

The Scouse winger produced a magnificent display to help the Reds to a 2-1 win over the First Division side and seal Roy Evans's only trophy as manager.

The first of two breathtaking solo goals from McManaman arrived in the 37^th minute when he danced beyond several Bolton defenders before side-footing into the bottom corner.

His second arrived midway through the second half. Again he tormented a handful of defenders with his trickery prior to curling home.

Alan Thompson reduced the arrears for Bolton with a rasping drive - but it was to be Liverpool's day.
