I know from experience there are certain games where, if you are the player who makes the difference, the fans never forget it.

I had been a Liverpool player for more than three years when I scored my first winner for them against Manchester United in 2000. I was used to being asked for autographs and people talking to me, but that goal against our biggest rivals suddenly elevated everything to a different level.

I was now the player who had scored that goal for us, and against them. It was like people saw me in a different way, and certainly thought more highly of me, because I had given them this joy in a fixture that meant so much to them.

It will be the same for Eze now and the immediate effect of his hat-trick is that, in the next few games, he will be so full of confidence he will feel like he can try anything because he cannot do anything wrong.

Whenever he next walks out on the pitch, whether it’s against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday or Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend, he will feel he has the fans 100% behind him, because they adore him now more than ever.

It will be the same whenever he gets on the ball, too. You know the fans love you and that transfers to your game. You are thinking “give me the ball, what am I going to do next?” The feeling is amazing, and he will want to express himself and show the world how good he is.

That’s the buzz you get and it applies to any player scoring a hat-trick in a game of this size, but it always means a bit more when you are a fan of the team you do it for – it really does.

You feel a warmth from the supporters it is very hard to get if you’ve not grown up knowing it yourself.

I’d been at Old Trafford as a Liverpool fan watching them play there, so I understood what beating United meant to our supporters, the same as Eze will know what beating Spurs means to Arsenal fans.

What he did on Sunday will live with him forever, and the supporters will know he gets it too.

MOLLY-MAE Hague’s sister Zoe has shown off her and husband Danny Rae’s new home.

After tying the knot last summer, the loved-up couple have been living at Love Island star Molly-Mae‘s £3.5 million Cheshire mansion in the interval between searching for and owning their own home.

But now Zoe and Danny have finally settled into their perfect pad, and they couldn’t wait to share some of the interior details with their followers.

Over the weekend, Zoe posted happy snaps with her man, literally floating on air.

Danny picked her up inside of their new kitchen, decked out with zigzag wooden flooring and white cabinetry, in celebration of the move.

She’s smiling from ear to ear, one palm stretched out to the ceiling in a white longsleeve.

“Our happy home,” the duo simply captioned the blissful snap, excited for what’s yet to come.

Fans of Zoe couldn’t be happier for her either, and rushed to the comment’s section to send their well wishes.

“So happy for you both, new era!,” said one user.

Others chimed in with similar sentiments, gushing: “Congratulations!,” “SO so happy for you guys, enjoy every single moment,” and “exciting times ahead”.

But no one was happier for them than Zoe’s sister Molly-Mae who couldn’t help adding a comment of her own.

“Wooohoooo!!!! So happy for you guys…. But gonna miss you both so much.”

“Miss you already,” Zoe quipped back, followed by a red love heart.

Husband Danny posted a photo of his own on his socials: a snap of the home gym he’s “always dreamed of” in their new place.

“You get that home gym you’ve always dreamed of,” he said, showing off a treadmill, sets of weights, an exercise bike and more.

The couple are known to work out together and have even frequented HYROX intense training events.

Just before the couple’s move out of Molly’s home, Molly had been reflecting on whether she wants to expand her family and give her daughter Bambi – who she shares with boxer and Tommy Fury – a sibling.

She described how close her and Zoe are, and worried Bambi would miss out if she chose not to have another child soon.

“I’ve never had any regrets about starting a family young, but if I could go back and maybe go again, would I have waited a few more years? Potentially,” the star said, speaking on the pressure she feels to have a second child soon.
