Steven Gerrard’s top 10 greatest Liverpool goals after announcing retirement

Goal v West Ham 2006 FA Cup final

What a strike. They’re still talking about this in the FA Cup, with this long-range effort being undoubtedly one of Gerrard’s best goals in terms of technique.

Goal v Manchester United 2000/01

Can you believe this was 16 years ago? As a sprightly 20-year-old Gerrard burst onto the scene here and truly introduced himself in spectacular fashion with a stunning long-range strike against Liverpool’s bitter rivals.

Goal v Manchester City 2013

Even at the age of 32 he was still doing it. A fine long-range effort as Liverpool recorded a 2-2 draw over Man City. Controlling it first, he steered his shot past Joe Hart to tuck it into the corner on the half volley.

Goal v Middlesbrough 2008/09

Worthy of box office credentials, this could have been one of his best. At least 40 yards out, and on the half volley in front of the Kop. Don’t take our word for it, view the video!

Goal v Everton 2014

Demonstrating his close range, pinpoint accuracy from a free-kick, this goal against cross-city rivals Everton from earlier this season had just enough pace on the ball to beat goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Goal v Marseille 2008/09

A ridiculous strike which seemed to defy science. Liverpool struck on the counter-attack against the French outfit, and as Gerrard hit the ball he wasn’t even facing the goal. A must watch!

Goal v Newcastle 2007/08

Incredible shot from a dead ball. Jeered all match by home fans, he silenced St James’ Park with this long range effort as the Reds went on to record a 3-0 victory.

Goal v Arsenal 2007/08

Another free-kick, which almost ripped the net off its posts. Gerrard completely fooled the Arsenal wall, beating goalkeeper Manuel Almunia in the process.
