#2 FA Cup with Steven Gerrard
To be known simply as the ‘Gerrard final’ forever more, the 2006 FA Cup final where Liverpool played West Ham is arguably the one game which cemented Gerrard’s legendary status. Trailing 2-0 to West Ham, Gerrard first set up Djibril Cisse for Liverpool’s opener and then scored in the 54th minute to draw the two sides level.
Paul Konchesky followed Gerrard’s strike ten minutes later to put West Ham in the lead once again and till the 91st minute, all seemed lost for Liverpool until one man stepped up yet again! Collecting the ball form around 35 yards out, Steven Gerrard let one fly. The football flew past the West Ham keeper and bulged out the top left corner of the net. Extra Time!
Gerrard scored yet again in the penalty shootout thirty minutes later to send Liverpool fans into utter delirium. Perhaps one of the greatest big match individual displays ever witnessed in the history of English football – Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard at Wembley!
