Here are my top 5 strikes from the Merseysiders
John Arne Riise
John Arne Riise announced himself as a cult hero at Anfield with this howitzer from 28 yards. Fabian Barthez did not have a clue what went past him.
Steven Gerrard
Fabian Barthez was on the receiving end of another cracker, this time from a young Steven Gerrard from 2001.
Fernando Torres

Robbie Fowler
All of Old Trafford will remember when Schmeichel was left startled by Fowler’s scorcher from an acute angle.
Michael Owen
The former Manchester United player, once a Liverpool hero scored a memorable goal at Anfield. After a lovely flick on, the England striker raced past United and dinked it over the keeper, demonstrating his surreal composure and pace.
