Twitter Reacts to Glen Johnson Scoring Winner for Liverpool vs. Stoke City

Liverpool were in desperate need of a victory on Saturday, and they got one after defeating Stoke City 1-0 at Anfield.

Much-maligned defender Glen Johnson scored his first in two years to hand the Reds a much-needed win. 

Twitter exploded as Johnson, a long-time target of the boo boys, grabbed the winner.
