Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho Blast Liverpool to Victory

Two wonder strikes give Liverpool a 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Jordan Henderson opened the scoring today at Anfield in the tenth minute with an absolute rocket to the top corner of the goal and Philippe Coutinho ended it with a blast of his own, the game-winner, in the 75th minute. Both goals are remarkably similar; Henderson and Coutinho received the ball to the left of goal, move to their right to get more space, and then they just let it rip, curling past a diving Joe Hart.

Even Joe Hart looks the same! Diving helplessly, looking at his one outstretched hand like, C'mon mate, couldn't be a little longer?

Edin Dzeko equalized for City in the 58th minute, but the Coutinho goal sealed the win over City, who haven't won at Anfield since 2003.
