Reaction'Scoring for Liverpool again brought back a lot of memories'
Ryan Babel relished the feeling of scoring in a Liverpool shirt again.
The Dutchman represented the Reds' Legends squad in Saturday's charity fixture against their Chelsea counterparts at Stamford Bridge.
And a crisp low finish - reversed into the bottom left corner - in the closing stages of the encounter settled it at 1-0 in his team's favour.

"It's not too long ago that I retired but still, it feels now like a long time. It brought so many memories of course - scoring and the dopamine of celebrating with teammates and fans.
"It was a good moment, for sure."
Babel spent three-and-a-half years of his professional career with Liverpool after being signed from AFC Ajax by Rafael Benitez in 2007.
The forward made 146 appearances for the club and scored 22 goals - including one at Stamford Bridge in a Champions League semi-final second leg.
"You always want to be competitive," he said. "And once you are at it, especially such a game as Chelsea-Liverpool, you want to win and be competitive."
