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.
