Top 15 goals under Jurgen Klopp
These goals are based on beauty, quality and brilliance alone; context and game importance have not been considered, so don’t expect to see Divock Origi’s late winners, Alisson Becker’s header or Gini Wijnaldum’s Barcelona heroics.
15 - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain v Arsenal (October 2019)
This goal got Liverpool back into this League Cup tie, Oxlade-Chamberlain firing in a ferocious rocket against his former club. He beats Ainsley Maitland-Niles to the loose ball, and then lets rip. Goodness.

A crazy Carabao Cup fourth round tie as the Reds come from 3-1 and 5-4 down to draw 5-5 with Arsenal (OG, Milner, Origi, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi) before winning on penalties. Debut of Neco Williams #lfc #onthisday #4yearsago https://t.co/8wmLKV344N
14 - Roberto Firmino v Manchester City (January 2018)
If ever a goal summed up a player, it’s this one by Roberto Firmino. Showing more strength than John Stones and then displaying audacious composure and technical skill of the highest order to dink it over Ederson; this was everything that made Firmino the player he was.
Bate na massa Stones

13 - Daniel Sturridge v Chelsea (September 2018)
A sublime strike from substitute Sturridge, curling on his left foot, to equalise at his former club Chelsea, with just a minute left on the clock, as the unbeaten start to 18/19 continued. Absolutely beautiful.

12 - Mohamed Salah v Chelsea (April 2019)
Salah unleashes an arrow, unstoppable in its path to the top corner, to put Liverpool 2-0 up in this most pressured of games. Another player scoring against his previous club in jaw-dropping fashion.

A quite ridiculous goal from Mohamed Salah sends Anfield into raptures as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 in an unbearably tense game to stay in touch with the title race - Sadio Mane also scored

11 - Andy Robertson v RB Salzburg (October 2019)
A goal that starts with Robertson and ends with him too, via Trent Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Jordan Henderson. Robertson’s marauding run into the box is the peak demonstration of how important the full-back has been to Klopp’s football philosophy.

10 - Emre Can v Hoffenheim (August 2017)
A goal so gorgeous in its construction that it had the manager screaming “now that’s fucking football” after Can taps home. It starts with Simon Mignolet but the vertical passing from Liverpool and Firmino’s deft cutback means that just fourteen seconds later, Emre Can tucks home.
Happy birthday, @emrecan_! π©πͺ

9 - Alexis Mac Allister v Sheffield United (April 2024)
Now this is a strike. As Liverpool’s home clash with Sheffield United threatened to end a draw last month, Mac Allister stepped forward and hit a startlingly straight drive, right into the corner. Precision, technique and power.
TAKE A BOW, ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER! π€―π

8 - Sadio Mane v Manchester City (April 2022)
The technical ability, close control and one-touch football from Liverpool here is marvellous. Alexander-Arnold’s switch to Luis Diaz, Thiago’s body feint and one-two under serious pressure, and Mane’s volleyed finish. The skill on show across the board is unreal.
Two years ago today, Liverpool beat Man City 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley π

7 - Mohamed Salah v Manchester City (November 2019)
It’s goals like this that have made Liverpool so dangerous in transition under Klopp. Alexander-Arnold’s cross-field ball on his weaker foot to Robertson is astonishing, and Robertson then puts it on a plate for Salah with a perfect delivery, the Egyptian timing his run brilliantly to head home.

6 - Emre Can v Watford (May 2017)
Right on the stroke of half-time in a game that had produced precious nothing, Can makes an advanced run, is found by Lucas Leiva and tries something highly unlikely, that ends up being highly magical.
7 years ago today, @emrecan_ scored this beauty of a winner in our 1-0 away win over Watford! π©πͺ

5 - Mohamed Salah v Watford (October 2021)
This list has team goals, combination goals, stellar strikes, and wouldn’t be complete without a solo show. Salah’s close control, sleight of foot and owning of the moment is one of the most jaw-dropping goals I’ve seen as a Liverpool fan.
STOP THAT, MO SALAH! πͺπ¬π

The footwork is magical, the finish is sublime.
He had the Watford defence on strings! π± pic.twitter.com/tBWPWWOxeX
4 - Sadio Mane v Bayern Munich (March 2019)
Audacity, quality and composure all rolled into one. To try this against a goalkeeper of Manuel Neuer’s class, to be calm enough to get the technique right, and to be gifted enough to execute it perfectly is Sadio Mane is a nutshell.
As it’s just 10 days until the Reds are back in action - here’s our former number 10, Sadio ManΓ© with this absolutely ridiculous finish in our 3-1 win over Bayern Munich at the Allianz. πΈπ³

3 - Mohamed Salah v Manchester City (October 2021)
Thirteen days before the Watford one at #5, Salah did this. He sits down world-class footballers in Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte with his rapid footwork and changes of direction, before slotting home on his weaker foot. Poetry in motion.

2 - Thiago Alcantara v FC Porto (November 2021)
Goals can leave us wowed, they can leave us loving and they can leave us shocked. But very few players have the ability to leave us confused. Thiago’s daisy-cutting effort against Porto is almost unfathomable - it almost defies the laws of physics and gravity for the ball not to touch the ground at any point. Thiago - capable of making the impossible possible.

With qualification secured, Liverpool beat Porto 2-0 in the fifth CL group game. Alisson captains for the first time, Mohamed Salah gets a goal, and Thiago hits this unfathomable strike - did it touch the ground? #lfc #onthisday #2yearsago pic.twitter.com/HHQxpNxNVQ
1 - Roberto Firmino v Manchester City (January 2019)
We’re ranking goals under Jurgen Klopp here, so it’s right that I have one that symbolises his football at #1. The whole team is involved here and it’s a work of art. The Mane, Fabinho and Wijnaldum triangle is so crucial to the progress of the move as Liverpool systematically deconstruct City’s defence with their football.
