Liverpool fans were delighted not just with the goal but with Darragh Ennis, a member of The Chase team, in the crowd.
A fan who screenshot the images of Ennis in the crowd wrote: "Hahahahaha is that one of the chasers."
Ennis, a professional quizzer who appears on The Chase frequently, was seen celebrating the first of two Liverpool F.C.
He has since confirmed it was him in the crowd, replying: "It sure is."
The user who posted the photos then asked if there was any chance of Ennis letting them "win" on an episode of The Chase.
Ennis jokingly replied: "Nah."
The Chaser has been a part of the ITV game show since 2020, and had previously appeared on the show as a contestant in 2017.
Football fans were thrilled to see Ennis in the crowd, with many sharing their surprise at the "best chaser" being at the match.
One person wrote: "The best Chaser too, might I add." Another unimpressed viewer wrote: "Yeah they do normal stuff too you know when they're not quizzing."
Fans have since shared pictures they took with Ennis before the game, calling him an "absolute hero" and praising him for being so involved with the match and fans.
The Dublin-born quiz expert took on the role of The Menace three years after featuring as a contestant on the programme.
