Hundreds of Liverpool fans erupt as Jordan Henderson lifts FA Cup trophy

Hundreds of Liverpool fans erupted as Jordan Henderson lifted the FA Cup trophy for Liverpool.

After a sensational win by LFC over Chelsea this evening, supporters across the city waited in bars and venues to see the Reds captain lift the trophy in front of Wembley stadium. Many hadn’t taken a single breath since Timikas’ stunning penalty.

As the squad lined up to receive their medals, fans in Camp and Furnace prepared themselves for the history making moment. Crowds raised their arms in the air while Henderson riled up his team mates and when he lifted the cup, the floor shook as Reds cheered, sang and threw their drinks in celebration.

Liverpool has further cemented their place as the undisputed most successful team in English football history following their FA Cup final win over Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout win over Chelsea.
