Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher celebrated the club's FA Cup third-round victory over Everton in style at a New York bar dedicated to him. The former defender watched the Merseyside derby with fellow Reds fans at Carragher's Pub and Restaurant in Manhattan, documenting the evening on social media.
Carragher posted a video on Instagram showing Liverpool fans erupting in celebration after Virgil van Dijk headed in a dramatic late winner. The clip captured fans jumping in pandemonium, with one shouting an expletive in delight. After the match, Carragher tweeted praise for van Dijk, writing, 'Thank you!!!!!! Worth the 75 million alone @VirgilvDijk not many score at the Kop end on their full debut.'
The 39-year-old continued the celebrations long into the night, sharing videos on Instagram of himself singing along with fans to live music at the bar. The venue, which opened in August 2015, is packed with memorabilia lent by Carragher, including signed shirts and scarves, and screens live Premier League football.
However, the victory was overshadowed by an incident involving Everton's Mason Holgate, who alleged that Liverpool's Roberto Firmino made a racial remark during a first-half confrontation. Referee Bobby Madley will include details in his report to the Football Association, which will investigate the allegation.
