How Jordan Henderson produced a near-perfect replica of an all-time classic Liverpool goal

-


The second in a new series looking back at the great forgotten Liverpool goals from seasons past.
With the 2019/20 season on pause and no current football to talk about for at least the next few weeks, this new series will look back upon some of the greatest forgotten Liverpool goals from years gone by, what made them so special at the time, and their place in the wider context.
The second entry focuses on Jordan Henderson's strike in the 2-0 win against Burnley at Anfield in March 2015.
The 2014/15 season was one to forget in almost every respect from a Liverpool point of view. Following the heartbreak of missing out on the Premier League title in such agonising fashion in 2013/14, it exposed the extent to which the previous campaign had been built on sand rather than sustainable foundations for long-term success.
That was compounded by a catastrophic summer transfer window which culminated in Liverpool essentially filling the Luis Suárez-shaped void with a combination of Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli, among numerous other ultimately underwhelming acquisitions.

A sixth-place Premier League finish, combined with a shambolic group stage exit upon returning to the Champions League (before immediately crashing out of the Europa League thereafter) and semi-final defeats in both domestic cups, meant there wasn't an awful lot to be cheery about as Brendan Rodgers' tenure unravelled at alarming pace.

And yet, their magnificent history will forever be plagued by two of the worst stadium disasters of all time: Heysel and Hillsborough. Liverpool team picture from the club's first season. History Following the moving of  Everton  to Goodison Park in 1892, the club's then-president John Houlding suddenly found himself with the rights to Anfield stadium and no team to play on it. Always a practical man, Houlding quickly decided to circumvent this problem by forming his own club – Liverpool (should not be confused Liverpool Ramblers...

Liverpool's season so far: August

-

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe.
