Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was overjoyed as current captain Jordan Henderson fired home the winner at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Reds had to recover from a two-minute double salvo from AC Milan before halftime to earn a hard-fought 3-2 victory in the UEFA Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were breathtaking for the most part before the Italian visitors hit their hosts before the break.
Working on the clash for CBS Sports Golazo, Carragher couldn’t hide his emotions when Henderson’s half volley flew into the back of the net.
