LFCCTV: Barnes destroys Forest
Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of Liverpool's imperious 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest at Anfield – and to celebrate the occasion we've turned our LFCCTV spotlight on John Barnes' role in the historic victory.
Approaching the end of his first season with the Reds, the England winger produced a display which provided evidence of the full range of his attacking potential - pace, power, balance and vision.
Whether it was assisting two of the five goals on the night, breaking forward on the counter-attack or working the goalkeeper from a set-piece, Forest had no answer to Barnes' brilliance.
