#5 Phil Jagielka (2014-15)
Trending
After a blistering 2013-14 season, when the SAS took the Premier League by the storm, the Reds were brought back to earth post the departure of Luis Suarez to Barcelona. However, like any other Merseyside derby, a lot was expected of both the teams from the game and it surely did not disappoint.
It was Liverpool’s talisman Steven Gerrard, who opened the scoring in the 65th minute via a trademark free kick. The Reds maintained their tempo and the game looked done and dusted as it entered the injury time in the second half.
However, Everton’s captain on the evening, Phil Jagielka had other plans as he thundered home a half-volley with just over a minute left to send the travelling Everton fans into a frenzy and ensure that the points were split between the two sides. Roberto Martinez was in awe of the goal scored by his captain and described it in the best possible manner by claiming that it was “the best live goal I’ve ever seen” and few could not agree with him.
What made the goal even more special for the travellers was that Jagielka scored the goal in front of the Kop end to truly rub salt into the wounds of the Reds and the strike will definitely be remembered for a long time to come.
