Liverpool striker Ings: McAllister always reminding me of his derby winner!

Danny Ings admits Liverpool coach Gary McAllister hasn't been shy talking about his famous derby winner.

Back in April 2001, with 94 minutes on the clock and the game heading towards a 2-2 draw, the Scottish midfielder stepped up to score with an incredible 44-yard free-kick that secured a dramatic 3-2 victory for Liverpool over Everton.

The striker told Liverpoolfc.com: “I keep seeing Gary Mac's free-kick against them…it keeps coming up on TV and he keeps on reminding me about it. He was a [free-kick] specialist, to be fair!

“I know how much derbies mean to football clubs from being involved in them before.

“Our fan base is absolutely gigantic and I can imagine how much it'll mean to them. I'm sure the team will give one million per cent for them on the pitch and hopefully get the result we all want.

“If I get the nod and the opportunity to play, I'll try my best to take it with both hands.

“But more importantly, I'd take three points over a goal on Sunday, for sure!"
