2-0 up... Not enough.
Despite beating PSG by 2 goals #OTD in 1997, Liverpool lost 3-2 on aggregate and failed to qualify to the Cup Winners' Cup final. Fowler and Wright scored for #LFC, but the Reds couldn't find a third goal that would led to the extra time.#LFChistory_net pic.twitter.com/TYHNcA3qaP

The following Saturday Liverpool won 2:1 against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. The match had a 6:15 PM kick off time. Darren Anderton gave Spurs an early lead. Stan Collymore equalised and Patrik Berger scored the winner before half time. The result left Liverpool in 2nd position in the Premier League on 67 points after 36 matches; 3 points behind leaders Manchester United who had played a match less. Liverpool finished the season in 4th position on 68 points; the same number as Newcastle United and Arsenal and 7 points behind champions Manchester United. The two defeats at home to Coventry and Manchester United in April had proved crucial. In the FA Cup, Liverpool lost 4:2 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the 4th round. The League Cup had ended in the 5th round with a 2:1 defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside stadium.
