How Ole's super-subs made the difference in London

For much of Sunday afternoon's game at the London Stadium, it appeared the Reds would have to settle for a somewhat frustrating 1-1 draw.

But we eventually found our way to three vital points, thanks to a late winner.

And the manager ultimately deserves much of the credit for that 89th-minute breakthrough, which was stitched together by two of his three second-half substitutes.

The Reds were attacking down the left, with just over a minute of normal time remaining, when Nemanja Matic – who had entered the fray just a minute earlier – threaded a smart pass into the area to the feet of Jesse Lingard – who had been introduced in the the 73rd minute.
