I think it was a blessing that Jordan Henderson did not have to wait long to score his first goal for Liverpool. That is was also a really good goal was even better. Many players come to Liverpool and struggle with the expectations.

Henderson came from Sunderland as 21-year-old with a huge (at the time) price tag of £15 million. The young player had taken Xabi Alonso’s number 14 shirt. Bold choice, lad. It was a huge signing for Kenny Dalglish and represented FSG’s big window of spending in their first summer in charge. We have yet to see them repeat that splurge.

It is a slightly unusual goal for Henderson in that it is a left footed strike. Dirk Kuyt works the ball to him in the right hand corner of the box. He take a dummy shot and shifts on to his left. Then he curls a beauty into the top left hand corner of the goal to open his account for the Reds.
