‘I might be a hero in Liverpool now’ – Former Reds star Shelvey stuns Man City to aid Klopp’s cause

The Newcastle midfielder, who spent three years on the books at Anfield, helped his current side to a 2-2 draw against the defending champions

Jonjo Shelvey says he “might be a hero in Liverpool now” after doing his former club a favour by scoring a stunning late goal for Newcastle in their 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

The Magpies midfielder spent three years at Anfield between 2010 and 2013.

He took in 69 appearances for the Reds, but failed to fulfil the potential on Merseyside that saw him snapped up from Charlton as a teenager.
