Southampton’s EFL Cup semi-final win against Liverpool in 2017 certainly was memorable.
Claude Puel’s side travelled to Anfield with a one-goal advantage and produced a dogged display, progressing with another victory against Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
The lasting memory over the two legs was Shane Long’s injury-time goal at Anfield, which sealed the club’s place at Wembley.
The Irishman finished off a deadly counter-attack in front of a full allocation of travelling fans, sparking wild scenes in the away end.
That moment has been the subject of the latest social media trend, and it’s safe to say it has gone down a treat with several Saints supporters.
The latest Twitter craze sees users upload two pictures, one from the start with the caption ‘how it started’, alongside another image with the caption ‘how it’s going’
@HHjones55 decided to produce a Saints-related post, with the first image being James Milner’s corner, followed by Southampton celebrations after Long’s winner.
