Jamie Carragher celebrates Liverpool win in New York bar

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher celebrated their victory over arch-rivals Everton in the FA Cup third round in style.

The former Liverpool defender visited the New York bar dedicated to him to watch the Merseyside derby with a host of other Reds fans.

Carragher took to social media to document his boozy evening and filmed the scenes from Manhattan just after Virgil van Dijk headed in a dramatic late winner.

In the video on his Instragram you can see Liverpool fans jumping up in pandemonium before Carragher shouted: ‘You f***ing beauty!’.

After the match the 39-year-old posted on Twitter to heap praise on debutant van Dijk for his match-winning display.

He wrote: ‘Thank you!!!!!! Worth the 75 million alone @VirgilvDijk not many score at the Kop end on their full debut.’

He posted videos of the pub which was packed full of Liverpool fans throughout the game

Of course, Carragher wrote this with tongue firmly lodged in cheek, as he had marked his full Liverpool debut with a goal at the Kop end against Aston Villa in 1997.

CARRAGHER’S BAR

– Carragher’s Pub and Restaurant is dedicated to the former Liverpool defender and first opened in Manhattan in August 2015.

– The venue is packed with memorabilia lent by Carragher himself, including signed football shirts, scarves and original artwork.

– The menu features traditional British dishes and screens live Premier League football every weekend to make Reds fans feel right at home 

Carragher continued the celebrations long in to the night as Jurgen Klopp’s men marched through to the FA Cup fourth round.

He posted several videos on his Instagram story singing along with fellow Liverpool fans to music being performed by a live band in the bar.

However, despite all the celebrations, Liverpool’s victory was somewhat overshadowed by Mason Holgate’s racial allegation of Roberto Firmino.

The Everton defender pushed the Brazilian over the advertising board and into the stands when the pair where chasing for the ball during the first half. 

Firmino instantly retaliated, confronting Holgate and exchanging verbals with him before referee Bobby Madley separated them.

Madley will include the full details in his report of the row to the Football Association with the governing body set to investigate the allegation further.
