Barnes scored the decisive goal that would hand Liverpool their last league title to date in 1990.

After Roy Wegerle had fired the away side into the lead, Ian Rush levelled matters.

The Reds were then awarded a penalty when Steve Nicol went tumbling in the penalty area, and the No.10 held his nerve from the penalty spot to slot past David Seaman and seal a 2-1 victory.

As news quickly filtered through to Anfield that Aston Villa had failed to beat Norwich City, it meant an 18th league championship was back in the trophy cabinet.
