Rather than revel in the moment and enjoy the goal with team-mates and fans, Babel appeared subdued as he collected the ball, before raising his hands in apologetic fashion in what has become the norm for footballers to do when they net against an old club.The Dutchman’s 74th minute leveller mattered little at the end, as James Milner stepped up to convert the winning penalty with just nine minutes remaining.Babel had spent four seasons at Anfield from 2007-2011, before departing for 1899 Hoffenheim.During his time with Liverpool, he made 146 appearances and scored 22 times.
