The Premier League is littered with one-hit wonders – players that scored just once in the competition – but some of them made sure their sole top-flight strike was an absolute net-buster. While none of these players caused Alan Shearer or Harry Kane any sleepless nights, they produced the kind of magic that’d be worthy of a street parade if it came from the boot of you or me. We’ve trawled through the archives to bring you 13 of the most jaw-dropping strikes from Premier League players who never troubled the scoresheet again. Erik Edman Edman only lasted one season…
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly open to selling Youssoufa Moukoko, with Liverpool listed as a club who are interested in the striker. According to Bild, the Bundesliga giants are not against the idea of offloading the 18-year-old attacker, who this week has been linked with a move to Real Madrid by the Spanish press. As per Bild, Liverpool are interested in signing Moukoko, who since breaking through at Dortmund at the age of 16 has shattered numerous records in both Germany and Europe. Lauded by Football Talent Scout as a player with ‘world-class potential’, Moukoko is easily one of the best…
If only for his own sake, it’s just as well Michail Antonio is unable to place any bets. The West Ham United striker raised a fair few eyebrows in the build-up to his latest visit to Anfield with a bold, bombastic claim about not only winning but also finishing above Liverpool in this season’s Premier League. “You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season,” suggested Antonio earlier this week on his podcast with Newcastle United’s Callum Wilson. “I’m putting it out there.” While such boasts are not necessarily to be discouraged in the…
Liverpool made light work of West Ham on Sunday afternoon, winning 3-1, and the media admired moments of real quality. The Reds faced a potentially tough challenge at Anfield in the Premier League but, despite a few scares, they passed with flying colours. Mohamed Salah‘s penalty was cancelled out by a Jarrod Bowen header, but Jurgen Klopp‘s side pulled away in the second half, thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota. Here’s a look at how the media assessed Liverpool’s latest victory, as their good run of form carries on.
The Reds chalked up a fifth successive win in the top flight by defeating the Hammers at Anfield on Sunday, with second-half goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota securing three points.

Post-match, Klopp analysed the performance of his team, reacted to Nunez’s stunning finish from a brilliant Alexis Mac Allister assist and more. Read a transcript of his press conference below… On how pleased he is with the performance… Yeah, it was [as] expected:…
Lionel Messi and Jose Mourinho may have been rivals in the past, but the outspoken coach could not help but express his admiration for the superstar after a masterclass versus Liverpool. The pair went toe-to-toe for major honours during the Portuguese manager’s stint at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, with the forward turning out for Barcelona. However, any tension between the old rivals was nowhere to be seen as Mourinho waxed lyrical about his former foe back in 2019 and dubbed him the “God of Football”. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss’ admiration was plain to see after…
Virgil van Dijk has been quick to praise his former Liverpool teammate Naby Keita following his long-awaited debut for Werder Bremen yesterday. Van Dijk left a comment on Keita’s Instagram post which had the caption ‘finally back on the court.’ The Dutch centre-back simply commented ‘Naby lad’ in a show of support. And you’d expect that all Liverpool fans will be pleased to see Keita playing football once again. Although his career didn’t pan out as hoped at Anfield after a £48m move, that was largely because of injury. And Keita’s start at Bremen has been delayed because of the same reason. Keita clearly…

That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claim the England international has no plans to leave Anfield despite his contract expiring in less than two years time. Recently promoted to the role of vice-captain following the exits of James Milner and Jordan Henderson earlier in the summer, Alexander-Arnold, 24, is now viewed as an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans. And eager to continue with the club he has been at his entire career, the 24-year-old, despite being wanted by ‘top clubs across Europe’, is thought to only have eyes for a new contract. These latest reports will…
Liverpool reportedly think that Ben Doak is showing similar qualities already to Mohamed Salah after appearing for the senior team this season. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Reds have high hopes for the 17-year-old winger after Doak this week signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. The teenager started for the Anfield side against LASK, replacing Salah in the starting XI from the side that beat Wolves the previous weekend in the Premier League. Whilst very much at the start of his Liverpool career, Doak’s potential is clear to see, and there’s a good chance that the winger could…
