Manchester United vs Liverpool - 2015/16 season

Philippe Coutinho had established himself as a big-game player during his time at Liverpool, and this one goal against Manchester United aptly justified the same.

In the quarter-finals of the Europa League in 2016, the Reds came to Old Trafford with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, but Anthony Martial halved the deficit from the spot. Even though United never looked like wiping out their lead, Coutinho just put the final nail in the coffin with this cheeky chip at the stroke of half-time.

Charging down the left wing, the midfielder scampered straight at De Gea before lofting a ball over the Spaniard for the equaliser from a very tight angle. The United defense were caught off-guard, but the sheer quality in the goal struck with such composure thoroughly deserves all its plaudits.
