Liverpool had to come from behind twice to beat Havant & Waterlooville and reach the FA Cup fifth round.
Havant, who in league terms were 5 divisions and 152 places behind Liverpool were not over-awed and played magnificently.
Given that they were only denied a third goal with a superb save from the Liverpool 'keeper, and that Peter Crouch was offside when he scored the fifth for the Anfield side, Havant could even have got a lot closer.
Richard Pacquette's header put Havant ahead before Leiva Lucas equalised for Liverpool with a superb 25-yard curler.
Alfie Potter restored the part-timers' lead with a deflected effort, but Yossi Benayoun made it 2-2 from 15 yards.
Benayoun drove in just after the break and stroked home from a rebound to complete his hat-trick before Peter Crouch tapped in to make it 5-2.
The Hampshire side earned the respect of the Anfield Kop who stayed behind to give the Conference side a standing ovation, need we say more - they will never walk alone!
