Fowler bows out
Ironically, two minutes after his substitution, to which he received a standing ovation, and in the final minute of the game the Reds were awarded a penalty.
If he had still been on the field he would have certainly taken it, yet it was left to Harry Kewell to slot in the equaliser in a game which lack of injuries meant more than the points.
With 183 goals in 369 games for Liverpool, Fowler deserved his reputation and after being ceremoniously dumped out of the club by Gerard Houllier back in 2001, it was only right for him to return and say his goodbyes properly.
"Today was for Robbie," said Rafa Benitez. "It was bad luck, but good luck for the team with the penalty. But, as a team, that was not a good performance."
