Striker Divock Origi has played a pivotal, if limited, role in Liverpool’s season and, after the drama of a Champions League win over Barcelona, he is not ruling out one more twist in the title race.

The Belgium striker has scored just six goals this season, but four of them have been vital: December’s 96th-minute Merseyside derby decider, the 86th-minute winner at Newcastle on Saturday and two in the 4-0 demolition of Barca to help book a second successive final appearance.

Boosted by turning around a 3-0 first-leg deficit against the favourites, Liverpool now head into Sunday’s Premier League season finale hoping Brighton can do them a favour by taking points off Manchester City to pave the way for Jurgen Klopp’s side to snatch the title with a win at home to Wolves.

“Second, when you look at the team we have a mixture of talent and just hard work and with the fans you knew it would be a special night.

“It wasn’t going to be easy, we didn’t have any guarantees and had to be brave and take a lot of risks.

“In the end winning 4-0 is something you still have to digest, but we do realise it was a special night and are going to the final.”
