On this day in 1991 Liverpool enjoyed their fifth biggest ever away win, thrashing Derby County 7-1 at the Baseball Ground.
The win put the Reds top of the league, while County were left at the bottom of division one. Dean Saunders scored their consolation from the spot, before moving to Merseyside the following summer for a then English record fee of £2.9 million
