Vine: Glen Johnson gives Liverpool a badly-needed win with a very brave header against Stoke

Both Glen Johnson and Liverpool badly needed that.

Both Glen Johnson and Liverpool badly needed that.

The right-back has been so maligned this season that a checklist of ‘appalling bits of behaviour’ was drawn up by a fan and widely circulated before today’s game, but he answered some of his critics with a very brave winner late on at Anfield.

Johnson was quick to react when Rickie Lambert’s header rebounded off the bar and threw himself in front of two onrushing Stoke defenders to head to the net for a goal that gave the Reds all three points.
