A fixture that captures the emotions of fans, punters and a fair share of neutrals too, we get you in the mood with a dig through the archives. Check out our five favourite Merseyside Derby goals.

Duncan Ferguson
Everyone loved Big Dunc, certainly to his face anyway, and the towering blues striker loved a big match goal. He was famous for using his head whenever it was needed, and picked the perfect time to get off the mark, driving in the opener in a memorable 2-0 win…..
