Unlikely hero Biscan breaks the deadlock
Igor Biscan is one of the under-achievers who got Gerard Houllier the sack, but Anfield was in forgiving mood yesterday when the thud-and- blunder Croatian headed in a late winner which could yet see Liverpool claim a place in Europe again next season.

Sheer bloody-mindedness and unrelenting effort enabled a seriously weakened Liverpool to make significant progress yesterday in the battle for the Premiership's fourth Champions League place.
Sunday Telegraph
