9) John Arne Riise v Chelsea (January 2007)
The rampaging full-back burst forward from his position at left-back and unleashed a pile-driver from distance, beating Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal, but seeing the ball strike the crossbar – watch it HERE.
8) Luis Suarez v Arsenal (February 2014)
A cleverly worked corner routine saw the ball fall to Suarez on the edge of the area, with the Uruguayan’s outrageous effort coming back off the post – watch it HERE.

5) Philippe Coutinho v Tottenham (December 2013)
