'Poolstanbul' Hartlepool United supporters celebrate by making Liverpool reference in remarkable comeback win against Harrogate Town

Dave Challinor’s side found themselves 2-0 behind at the interval but three goals in seven second half minutes flipped the game on its head as Pools maintained their remarkable home record in 2021.

David Ferguson gave Pools a lifeline with an excellent first time strike low into the bottom corner before Mark Cullen grabbed his third goal of the week with a glancing header to level the scores a minute later.

And Challinor’s side completed the turnaround five minutes later through Matty Daly’s stunning curling effort beating the outstretched Mark Oxley.

And Pools supporters, who celebrated their first away win of the season in midweek, took to social media to acknowledge the win after the game.
