Every single Jordan Henderson goal for Liverpool ranked
By David Gate
4: v Norwich 2012/13
One of the reasons it was so important for Jordan Henderson to score his first goal so early was because it would be a long time before he would make it to his third goal. He went almost all of the previous season without a second goal before grabbing one late in the season against Chelsea. He had to wait until January of 2013 to get his third league goal.
But it was well worth the wait. Henderson impressed in the 5-0 rout of Norwich and got his goal to open the scoring. It was the first time that Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez had started a game together so all eyes were on that partnership but Henderson upstaged them early with this peach.
Like many Liverpool goals in that era, Luis Suarez does all the hard work. The Uruguayan wins the ball with his back to goal and makes a nice turn before popping the ball over to Henderson. He is expecting a one-two. Hendo has other ideas. The ball arrives to him awkwardly in mid-air. But he just hits it on the half-volley. Actually he spanks it, thundering into the top right corner for a wonderful goal to end his drought in the league.
