Background Story

Oct 20, 2007: Sami Hyypia (2-1 at Everton, EPL)

While attempting to clear following a corner, the centre-back succeeded in spectacularly half-volleying the ball past Jose Reina.

Oct 24: Sami Hyypia (1-2 at Besiktas, Champions League group stage)

Jamie Carragher's attempted clearance richocheted in off Hyypia. But, this time, there was no way back for the Reds.

Jan 6, 2008: John Arne Riise (1-1 at Luton Town, FA Cup round three)

Up 1-0, and with 13 minutes left, he stuck out a leg to divert a cross into the corner of Charles Itandje's net.

Jan 21: Fabio Aurelio (2-2 v Aston Villa, EPL)

The Brazilian left-back deflected in Olof Mellberg's mis-hit cross past a wrong-footed Jose Reina to give Villa a 2-1 lead with 18 minutes to go.

Jan 31: Martin Skrtel (5-2 v Havant and Waterlooville, FA Cup round four)

It was a nightmare debut for the Slovakian defender, as his deflection off Alfie Potter's shot embarrassingly put the non-League side in front for the second time.
