| Brian Tinnion scores the upset goal |
Liverpool were Champions but this was mid-90's Liverpool, always straddling that line between brilliant and awful.
This FA Cup Third Round tie was the third time these sides had met. The first had been abandoned due to floodlight failure and the rearranged game had ended in a 1-1 draw. Still, the replay at Anfield was expected to be a formality for the Super Reds.
Bristol City had other ideas though. Liverpool largely dominated the game but couldn't find a way through the City defence. Then in the 65th minute, the ball broke loose on the edge of the Liverpool area and Brian Tinnion was on hand to sweep the ball past Bruce Grobbelaar into the Liverpool goal.
Bristol City would hold on for the win which would have deep consequences as Liverpool manager Graeme Souness would resign following the defeat.
Bristol City were the new champions and were bringing the title back to Division One.
