At his peak, there was few better marksmen than Fernando Torres at Liverpool.
The former Spain international remains fondly remembered at Anfield for his 81 goals in 142 appearances during a three-and-a-half year spell with the club.
Although things soured when he joined Chelsea in January 2011, Torres's exploits bordered between the sublime and the ridiculous. Sometimes it was both.
It's exactly 15 years since he produced an audacious finish in a 3-0 dismantling of Sunderland by opening the scoring with just three minutes on the clock.
Latching onto Pepe Reina's long delivery, Torres cut in from the left and dazzled Michael Turner before leaving Craig Gordon grasping at air in front of The Kop.
The Fuenlabrada native didn't score many better than this one.
