None of the player's previous 18 goals with English clubs had been netted away from St. James' Park or Anfield
Gini Wijnaldum was in the right place at the right time for Liverpool on Wednesday - and in the process ended an incredible scoreless run of three years away from home.
The midfielder was called up by Jurgen Klopp to start in the second leg at Roma, firming up the middle of the park in the absence of the injured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
But it was in the Roma area that his presence was felt keenest, as he put the Reds 2-1 up on the night and 7-3 up on aggregate.
