Goal of the Day: Peter Crouch’s first outrageous bicycle kick

Peter Crouch stunned Anfield with an awesome display of acrobatics against Galatasaray back in September 2006.

The Liverpool striker readjusted his body to meet Steve Finnan’s cross flush with a bicycle-kick volley at the Kop end during a 3-2 Champions League win.

Having earlier opened the scoring from close range, Crouch put the Reds three up in the opening stages of the second half with a goal that was last year voted the competition’s best ever acrobatic effort.

He repeated the trick four months later, too, netting a near-carbon copy versus Bolton Wanderers.
