Liverpool

John Toshack went home with the match ball as Liverpool cantered to a 3-1 win over Birmingham City on this day in 1975.

The Welsh frontman opened the scoring on 13 minutes with a fortuitous header and then doubled the Reds' advantage just shy of the hour mark with a fierce drive.

The visitors set up a nervy ending when they hit back on 80 minutes through Hatton before Toshack claimed his hat-trick and secured the points for Liverpool with a third four minutes from time.
