GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Accrington Stanley (Danns, 76) WHAT A MOVE! Danns starts and finishes this move, with the Liverpool substitute winning the ball high up and playing Chiesa through on goal. The Italian should score as Crellin denies him – but the Liverpool players are queuing up as Danns smashes in his third Liverpool goal in this competition – after his two goals last season.

The crowd at Anfield was buzzing with excitement as the match entered the 76th minute. Liverpool led 2-0, but they weren’t slowing down. The pressure was mounting on Accrington Stanley, and as if on cue, a brilliant individual effort unfolded right before their eyes.

Danns, the Liverpool substitute, was the catalyst. Positioned high up the field, he pounced on a loose pass from an Accrington defender, intercepting it with precision. Without missing a beat, he quickly played the ball forward to Chiesa, who was charging into the penalty area. The Italian forward had the goal at his mercy, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, Accrington keeper Crellin made a brilliant save, diving low to deny the shot.

But Danns wasn’t done yet. He had made his way into the box during the attack and, like a predator on the prowl, was right where he needed to be. As Chiesa’s rebound bounced loose, Danns was there to meet it. Without hesitation, he smashed the ball into the back of the net, giving Liverpool a 3-0 lead and sending the home crowd into raptures.

It was a goal that spoke volumes of Danns’ persistence, composure, and the kind of teamwork that defined Liverpool’s ruthless approach on the field. It was his third goal in this competition, following his brace from the previous season, and he had once again proven his worth in front of the Anfield faithful.

The move was a showcase of everything that was brilliant about Liverpool’s play: high press, quick transitions, and the unrelenting desire to finish what they started. And as the final whistle blew, the scoreline read 3-0, with Liverpool securing another dominant performance, led by a brilliant goal from Danns.
