In a era of so many highs, it remains one of the most memorable Anfield nights of Jurgen Klopp's tenure.
And the Liverpool boss wasn't even there to see it.
Two years ago, with Klopp and his first-team squad on their mid-winter break, the youngest team to ever represent the Reds stepped out in front of 52,399 supporters for an FA Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town.
It would prove the springboard for greater things for then under-23s coach Neil Critchley, who led a team packed with Academy players to a 1-0 triumph and within weeks had taken the manager's job at Blackpool.
The same, too, could be said of the captain that evening.

Just five days after celebrating his 19th birthday, Curtis Jones became the youngster skipper in Liverpool's history, surpassing the record of Alex Raisbeck that had stood for 120 years.
Having scored a famous winner against Everton in the third round and also netted in the first game against Shrewsbury, the midfielder seemed the obvious choice.
Easy to forget, though, Jones was making only his eighth senior appearance having featured for just 20 minutes in the Premier League.
The homegrown midfielder has since firmly established himself in the first-team squad, joining Trent Alexander-Arnold as one of the leading breakthroughs from the Academy during the Klopp era.
But now Jones faces arguably the greatest test of his Liverpool credentials thus far.
Klopp spoke last month of having had a long talk with the 21-year-old regards taking the next step in his development, a call to arms which prompted an impressive response from the player.
A fine cameo from the bench at home to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg earned a starting role in the Premier League win against Brentford, with the midfielder then outstanding in the win at the Emirates in the return leg and playing the full 90 of the top-flight triumph at Crystal Palace last time out.
Jones has been making up for lost time after being sidelined for two months with an untimely eye problem suffered just when he was looking to stamp his authority in the midfield during late September and October, most notably with a superb Champions League showing in the 5-1 win at Porto.
However, the competition for places in midfield will most likely never be more fierce than when the Reds resume after their latest mid-winter break at home to Championship side Cardiff City in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
Jones, who has been featuring alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson in the engine room, will now have to withstand the challenge of another four players for one of the three starting positions.
Naby Keita is back after enjoying a decent Africa Cup of Nations, while Thiago Alcantara has resumed training after more than six weeks out with a hip complaint.
Harvey Elliott, who grasped an early-season opportunity in midfield after Jones was set back by a concussion, is also available after suffering a serious ankle injury in September.
Soon, too, Mohamed Salah will return from the AFCON, meaning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - who scored in successive Premier League games on the right flank - will again look for a start in his preferred central role having featured in 14 of the last 15 top-flight games.
And with James Milner and Tyler Morton also offering options at opposite ends of the experience spectrum, Klopp has a welcome selection headache.
Not all will be at Anfield beyond the summer, making the new few months pivotal in helping shape the ongoing midfield evolution.
Jones has rarely been short of self-belief and confidence. Now is his perfect time to shine and move into the next phase of his career.
