Ah, Xabi Alonso. There was perhaps no greater striker of the ball from long range than the Spanish legend.
By long range, we donât just mean a 30-yard piledriver into the back of the net either â no, those were tap-ins for the ex-Real Madrid man.

We mean sweet strikes from inside his own half, something he made a bit of a habit of, most memorably for Liverpool against Newcastle.
He literally did it all for this goal himself too â winning it back in his own half, moving clear of the referee who halted his path and then somehow having the vision and execution to find the net.
Steve Harper may have slipped in retreating back towards goal but weâre not convinced he would have got there anyway!
