equalling

A second-round 61 – equalling the course record – served notice of his talent and gave him the halfway lead.

It also meant he secured a fourth Golden Boot, equalling the record held by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

But on his 400th Liverpool appearance, he really should have been celebrating equalling the tally.

Despite being on the way to equalling their lowest Premier League finish, set in 1994, Postecoglou said he never lost faith in his players and feels his players have kept faith in him.

Within two weeks of his triumph at the European indoors, the 23-year-old announced himself as a world champion by equalling that personal best performance of 6.49 seconds.
