Anfield played host to a rather famous celebrity visitor from the United States on Sunday — pop star Lana Del Rey.
The singer, whose album Born to Die charted at No. 1 in 11 countries last year, was making her first ever visit to Anfield to see the game against Tottenham Hotspur, and she turned out to be something of a lucky charm — as the Reds came from behind to win 3-2.
Before the game kicked off, Lana spoke exclusively to the official LFC website.
