Liverpool news: Was Xabi Alonso’s own-half goal against Newcastle the best? – Get involved

Before he was a Bundesliga-winning manager, Xabi Alonso was one of the most talented midfielders of his generation.

The Spaniard had fantastic passing range and an eye for the spectacular, as he demonstrated against Newcastle at Anfield in September 2006.

He caught Magpies goalkeeper Steve Harper cold with a fantastic strike from 60.6 yards (to be exact).

Maybe Harper should have been more prepared.

Alonso had already scored from his own half earlier that year, scoring from more than 70 yards in the closing moments of an FA Cup win at Luton after the Hatters goalkeeper had dived from a set-piece.
