Liverpool and Arsenal played out an all-time classic in the EFL Cup two years ago. They drew 5-5 in regulation time before The Reds overcame their London rivals 5-4 on penalties.

Once again, if it wasn't for Divock Origi, the Gunners would've nicked the contest after leading 4-2 after 54 minutes. After Oxlade-Chamberlain reduced the deficit, the Belgian made it 4-4.

Joe Willock restored Arsenal's lead in the 70th minute, making it 5-4. The scoreline remained that way until stoppage time before Origi equalised in the 94th minute. He later also scored in the penalty shootout.


#2 Against Newcastle - May 2019 (Premier League)

Divock Origi kept Liverpool's title hopes alive in this game.

Divock Origi made valuable contributions to Liverpool's title charge during the 2018-19 season. He was at it again on the penultimate matchday.

Manchester City watched in angst as their crowning moment seemed close, with Liverpool drawing 2-2 against Newcastle United on matchday 37. However, Origi had other ideas.

In the 88th minute, Xherdan Shaqiri played in a free-kick, and Origi was on hand to head it home and win it for Liverpool. That pushed the title race right down to the wire.


#1 Against Barcelona - May 2019 (Champions League)

"Corner taken quickly...Origi!"

Just days before his Newcastle United heroics, Divock Origi made arguably the biggest contribution of his Liverpool career. He was twice on target against Barcelona in a famous 4-0 Champions League win at Anfield. That included a late goal that completed the turnaround.

The Reds turned around a 3-0 first-leg deficit in the semi-final, courtesy of a brace from Giorginio Wijnaldum and an early opener from Origi.

With extra time looming, Liverpool needed another goal to seal their place in the final. Origi stepped up, tapping home a quick corner from Alexander-Arnold to send Lionel Messi and co. crashing out of the continental competition.

Can he ever better this strike?
