No.3: Steven Gerrard - Tuesday March 13, 2012
This game saw the influential captain became the first player to score a Merseyside derby hat-trick at Anfield since 1935, beginning the famous feat in spectacular fashion.
Gerrard picked up possession on the edge of the area after a Martin Kelly effort had been blocked by Tim Howard, and remained unnerved as he cooly lifted the ball over the 'keeper and crowd of defenders inside the area.
