Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool scored a variety of incredible goals in 2016, from Emre Can to Philippe Coutinho to Divock Origi.
The Reds rounded off 2016 with a 1-0 victory at home to Manchester City on New Year’s Eve, and while they were subsequently held to a 2-2 draw by Sunderland on January 2, spirits are still high.
Liverpool are second in the Premier League table, with Klopp overseeing a major upturn in fortunes over the past 12 months—most notably, in front of goal.
To mark the turn of the year, Liverpool produced a video package of the Reds’ 10 best goals in the English top flight in 2016.
Beginning with Origi’s wide sweeping effort against the Black Cats in November and onto Can’s curled strike away to Bournemouth days later, the quality is clear.
Adam Lallana‘s curler against Newcastle United at the end of 2015/16 takes No. 7, with the Englishman also featured for his late winner away to Norwich City at the beginning of 2016.
Philippe Coutinho is included a total of three times, with his free-kick at Arsenal on the opening day of the season deemed his best at No. 2.
Taking pole position, however, was Jordan Henderson‘s remarkable goal at Stamford Bridge in September’s 2-1 win over Chelsea.
That the top 10 is spread across seven different players, Origi, Can, Lallana, Coutinho, Henderson, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, is a testament to the wealth of talent in Klopp’s squad.
Liverpool are currently the Premier League‘s top-scoring side for 2016/17, with 48 goals from just 20 games, and supporters will be hoping this continues into 2017.
