Five... stunning strikes in front of The Kop

Anfield is a notoriously tough place to get a result - we, famously, went 73 years without a win there, a run ended in 1985 - but we've certainly had our moments in recent years.

Ahead of our huge clash in the Premier League on Sunday (4.30pm), here are five absolute belters we've scored in front of The Kop...

Glenn Hoddle - Liverpool 3-1 Spurs - 15/5/1982

Okay, we're starting this rundown with a loss - but what a goal, and what a day at Anfield...

In fact, what a season. We played 66 matches in all competitions in 1981/82, 42 as we finished fourth in Division One, eight as we reached the final of the League Cup - beaten by Liverpool in the final - another eight as we reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - beaten by Barcelona - and seven as we retained the FA Cup, beating QPR in a replay in our final match of the campaign on 27 May! We also kicked-off the season by sharing the Charity Shield with Villa in August.

Liverpool and Ipswich Town were battling it out for the title - and our last two league matches were at Anfield, followed by Bobby Robson's Ipswich at the Lane on the final day.

Liverpool were just ahead and needed a win to secure the championship as we stepped out at Anfield. But with the title on the line, Glenn Hoddle stunned The Kop after 27 minutes. Picking up the ball from Ricky Villa fully 40 yards out, the maestro took a stride forward and simply thundered a volley past Bruce Grobbelaar into the top corner. It was so good, described as 'beautiful' in commentary by John Motson, that it drew applause from the home fans.

It would be Liverpool's day though, as second half goals from Mark Lawrenson, Kenny Dalglish and Ronnie Whelan saw Liverpool to their sixth title in 10 seasons. They'd go on to triumph again in 82/83, 83/84, 85/86, 87/88 and 89/90 - such was their dominance at the time - before a 30-year gap and their 19th title in 2019/20.

Jurgen Klinsmann - Liverpool 1-2 Spurs - 11/3/1995

Jurgen Klinsmann was dreaming of a Wembley final - but we were drawn a tough quarter-final against Liverpool in March, 1995. Liverpool took the lead via Robbie Fowler on 38 minutes but we struck back before half-time. David Howells threaded a pass from deep for Klinsmann, who controlled superbly before rolling into the path of Teddy Sheringham, and the finish was unerring, a curling, side-foot effort that pinged home off the post.

Klinsmann's magic moment arrived with two minutes to go. Darren Anderton won possession and Sheringham cleverly guided the ball into the path of the German legend breaking into the box from the left, the finish, again, clinical, clipping over David James and home.

Klinsmann and Sheringham were electric that season - 52 goals between them, all competitions - and Klinsmann later voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association, but that Wembley dream was shattered by Everton in the semi-finals. However, a year later, he would be at Wembley, first denying England (and former team-mates Anderton and Sheringham) and then beating Czech Republic to win Euro 96 with Germany.

Erik Edman - Liverpool 2-2 Spurs - 16/4/2005

Before Dejan Kulusevski, there was only one Swedish international at Spurs - Erik Edman. And the defender snapped up from Heerenveen in the summer of 2004 delivered a goal that, to this day, he's still reminded of (probably about now by fans on social media) as he continues to coach Hittarps IK, a team local to him just outside Helsingborg.

We went to Anfield in April, 2005 in a season of transition. We'd had a tough start, and five defeats in six saw us slip to 14th. Martin Jol took over and began those shoots of recovery with six wins in seven taking us up to sixth on New Year's Day. 

Liverpool, meanwhile, had just toppled Juventus to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. They would then beat Chelsea and Milan in that famous 2005 final, coming from 3-0 down to win on penalties.

With Michael Dawson making his debut, this was a typical end-to-end encounter between the teams with Edman spectacularly leaving his mark after just 12 minutes. A short corner was cleared and collected by Erik on the centre-circle. He took about 10 steps forward before unleashing a rocket into the top corner, leaving Jerzy Dudek clutching at thin air.

Luis Garcia levelled for Liverpool but we regained the lead in the second half when Robbie Keane's header diverted home off Jamie Carragher. Steven Gerrard then missed a penalty, Sami Hyypia levelled at 2-2 and Gerrard hit the post late on. We ended the season with two defeats in nine and finished a creditable ninth - the season after, we'd challenge for Champions League qualification.

Rafa van der Vaart - Liverpool 0-2 Spurs - 15/5/2011

Rafa van der Vaart scored some fantastic goals in just two seasons as a Spur - here was arguably his best to spark us to victory at Anfield and European qualification.

It had been a memorable season - our first in the Champions League, and all those memories - Young Boys, Inter, AC Milan, Real Madrid - but we suffered a blow in May as defeat at Manchester City ended hopes of finishing in the top four.

We travelled to Anfield with Liverpool needing a win to secure fifth. As it turned out, our first win at Anfield since 1993 moved us into pole position for fifth ourselves, a place we clinched with victory over Birmingham City on the season's final day.

Harry Redknapp's team came out fighting and took the lead on nine minutes via Rafa's wonder strike in front of the Kop. Luka Modric's corner was cleared out to him on the edge of the box, his dipping volley sailed over Pepe Reina and into the top corner, a thing of beauty. Modric's penalty saw us home in the second half. A week later, Roman Pavlyuchenko's double off the bench against Birmingham, including a late, late winner, secured that fifth place ahead of the Reds.

Victor Wanyama - Liverpool 2-2 Spurs - 4/2/2018

There are rockets - and then there's Victor Wanyama's rocket in this extraordinary clash at Anfield in February, 2018.

Trailing 1-0 to Mo Salah's early strike, Wanyama set up one of the most dramatic finales to a match in recent memory with a thunderbolt in the 80th minute. The popular Kenyan actually started the move by switching play to Christian Eriksen on the left. Eriksen's cross brought a flying punch clear from goalkeeper Loris Karius, but the ball bounced into the path of Wanyama, who strolled onto it and smashed a piledriver that travelled like a bullet into the top corner, unstoppable.

That made it 1-1, and it looked for all the world we'd go on to win when Harry Kane was brought down by Karius for a penalty in the 85th minute. However, Karius saved the spot-kick and then Liverpool regained the lead with a stunning solo effort from Salah at the start of injury time.

Incredibly, it wasn't over. Referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot again when Virgil van Dijk challenged Erik Lamela and, with the clock reading 90+5, Kane kept his nerve in front of The Kop to plant the ball in the bottom corner - his 100th Premier League goal.

Fifth when we travelled to Anfield, we went on to win eight of our last 12, including beating rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, to finished third in the Premier League.
