Summary
In April 1996, Newcastle and Liverpool met at Anfield with both trying to beat Manchester United to the title. What followed was one of the Premier League's greatest ever matches - a 7-goal-thriller with a late winner. 30 years on, former Liverpool player Jason McAteer, former Newcastle defender Steve Howey, the Anfield Wrap's Ian Ryan and the Athletic's George Caulkin join Alistair Bruce-Ball to reflect on the match and its place in Premier League history.
