Goal of the Day: Fernando Torres' sublime Blackburn strike
Fernando Torres scored 83 times for Liverpool, but arguably his finest came on this date 11 years ago – and we’ve selected it as our Goal of the Day.
With the Reds goalless at a sun-soaked Anfield against Blackburn Rovers, Jamie Carragher lifted a pass into the right-hand channel of the opposition penalty area from deep.
There, Torres pushed the ball away from goal with his chest under the attention of Ryan Nelsen, allowed it to bounce once before scooping a shot across goal and into the far top corner, beyond the reach of Paul Robinson. All within the blink of an eye.
Enjoy the effort in all of its glory in our video below.
