Jurgen Klopp's decision to substitute in Adam Lallana as a replacement to Jordan Henderson in the 71st minute during Liverpool's game against Manchester United was crucial as the player scored the equalizer for the Reds in 85th minute.
After the game, Lallana has revealed that he believes he still has a big role to play for Liverpool this season.
"I'm delighted and it's obviously nice to contribute, but listen, obviously I feel like I've been fit for a good year now, especially since coming back from pre-season," said Lallana.
"But we're European champions, we've got a top squad, so I've had to be patient for my chance but I am delighted to come on and make an impact like that.
"It's nice to be able to contribute to a top team like this. I feel that's the first of [some] big moments me for this season.
"It's a long old season. We've got the World Club Cup to come. We've got the Carabao Cup next week, the Champions League this week, the Premier League at the weekend.
"Just because I've not started any of the first nine games, I don't think that means I am not going to play a big part in this team. Football's a funny game. I think the last couple of years, we've got the Champions League final with a maximum of four really fit centre midfielders.
"It's about just staying fit, staying strong and staying ready. I feel that's where my focus will be."
Liverpool will now get ready to play an away Champions League game against Genk on Wednesday.
