Goalkeeper David James earned Liverpool’s badge of honour to help embattled manager Graeme Souness celebrate his team’s first win in eight matches. James superbly saved a penalty from Arsenal dangerman Paul Merson two minutes after John Barnes had fired home a spot-kick at the other end.

Graeme Souness said “We’ve got a young goalkeeper here who we believe is going to be one of the best in country and today he did nearly everything right. I still maintain I have got the most talented group of players in the country.”
