Now THIS is how to score a long range goal.

Excellent work Mr. Alonso.

There's no arguing with that! I heard on the news that he scored a similar goal not too long ago as well... good stuff

The last goal he scored before this one was against Luton in the FA CUP last season - and it was also a long range one from in his own half.

Wikipedia wrote:
On 7 January 2006, in a thrilling F.A. Cup third round tie against Luton Town, Alonso assisted Liverpool to a 5-3 comeback victory after being down 3-1 early in the second half, by scoring two amazing goals: one from 40 yards, and the other from well inside his own half (65 yards from goal) as the opposition keeper had gone to the Liverpool penalty area to attack a corner kick. Astonishingly, it later transpired that a Liverpool fan had earlier placed a ?200 bet on Alonso scoring from within his own half at some point in the 2005?06 season, and won ?25,000 as a result.

Love those Scousers! I wonder if anyone had a similar bet this year?
