Liverpool fans will, presumably, love what Jamie Carragher just tweeted to Chelsea’s official Twitter account.

The Blues asked their followers to describe their favourite Chelsea moment using just two words, prompting Carragher to write a brilliant reply.

The Sky Sports pundit replied: ‘Ghost Goal’.

Carragher is, of course, referencing Luis Garcia’s famous strike against the west Londoners in the Champions League semi-final back in 2005.

The man himself even responded to the ex-Liverpool centre-back’s tweet.

As the BBC recount, Milan Baros beat Petr Cech to the ball at Anfield inside just four minutes, before the Spaniard flicked an effort goalwards.

The spin on the ball was enough to take it towards goal, and despite William Gallas thumping it clear, the ball was adjudged to have crossed the line despite Chelsea’s protests.

Therefore, that is why it is famously described as the ‘ghost goal’.

We don’t think Carragher’s response is the sort of thing Chelsea were hoping to see pop up in their comments section after tweeting the question.

However, we do think that Liverpool fans will love what he replied with.

Liverpool went on to win the Champions League in the most dramatic circumstances after Garcia’s ghost goal, coming from three goals down against AC Milan to win on penalties.

For that reason, it is no wonder why the semi-final strike still sits right at the forefront of Carragher’s mind when Chelsea are involved.
