March 2023<\/h2>\n<p>This one is feeling fresh and must bring a smile to every Liverpool fan\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the match, United were the form team of the Premier League and the hosts were seen as languishing behind having had a difficult season.<\/p>\n<p>But Liverpool turned the form book on its head with a majestic attacking display.<\/p>\n<p>And boy were they clinical with seven of their eight shots on goal turning to gold.<\/p>\n<p>Cody Gakpo got the ball rolling just before half-time with an exquisite curling finish.<\/p>\n<p>Then came SIX second-half goals, as Darwin

first-time effort.<\/p>\n<p>N\u00fa\u00f1ez then headed in his second to make it five.<\/p>\n<p>Salah then got his second of the match, a significant one as he broke Robbie Fowler\u2019s record to become the club\u2019s all-time top Premier League goal scorer.<\/p>\n<p>There was even time for Bobby Firmino to get on the scoresheet as he stepped off the bench to flick home as his legendary Anfield career comes to a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>This was Liverpool\u2019s biggest ever win against their long-time arch rivals, and\u00a0 United\u2019s heaviest defeat since 1931.<\/p>\n<h2

Klopp\u2019s men thereafter in the second-half, as Firmino stylishly tucked in Joe Gomez\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n<p>N\u00fa\u00f1ez then made it 3-1 with a nice strike into the bottom

an Alexander-Arnold cross into his own net.<\/p>\n<p>A chuckling Firmino soon got his second of the game as Robertson\u2019s shot was palmed into his path for a simple rebound goal to make it seven.<\/p>\n<p>New signing Fabio Carvalho scooped home for number eight.<\/p>\n<p>And another cheeky header from D\u00edaz, who ironically began the goalscoring shenanigans, ended the day with the

John Wark slotted in.<\/p>\n<p>Then Ronnie Whelan got in on the act, scoring a sublime volley.<\/p>\n<p>There was still time just before half-time for McMahon to strike for 4-0 Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>And the second-half was a complete blitz as Wark headed in number five and his second of the match.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\"

Vaughan.<\/p>\n<p>A tap-in at the back post from McMahon saw him notch his fourth goal of the game.<\/p>\n<p>All of Liverpool\u2019s attacking players were on fire that night, and there was even time for Nicol to cap off a memorable night as he squeezed the ball into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n<p>It broke the club\u2019s 90-year record stretching back to 1896, as their biggest win in domestic cup competition, a statistic still intact today.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"palloseura\">Liverpool 10-1 Oulun Palloseura \u2013 Wednesday 1<sup>st<\/sup> October 1980<\/h2>\n<p>This was a European Cup first round

was his first goal for the club in European competition.<\/p>\n<p>Souness soon got his second, as a simple shot bounced off the Oulun keeper\u2019s foot and went in.<\/p>\n<p>Terry McDermott then got the third.<\/p>\n<p>Dalglish nearly got the fourth just before half-time as the ball was going in, but McDermott cheekily swept in to take the goal for himself.<\/p>\n<p>Keith Armstrong then pulled a

tried to take.<\/p>\n<p>But he eventually, at the crowd\u2019s insistence, gave the ball to his 80s lookalike brother Souness, with the same curly mullet hair and moustache, and he slammed it down the middle to net his hat-trick after 53 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Merely a minute later, Sammy Lee smashed in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Kennedy then tapped in Phil Neal\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n<p>David Fairclough then nodded into the bottom corner two minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>Fairclough quickly got his second, another header this time at the back post.<\/p>\n<p>And the final goal saw McDermott get the hat-trick he so desperately craved as he blasted in a long range stunner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Liverpool\u2019s 7-0 demolition of Manchester United last weekend, where does it
