  • Assist: Jermain Defoe. "A swift-footed interchange between Cole and Defoe befuddled the defence, leaving Crouch space to pounce. He finished crisply into the bottom corner." Peter Crouch9th of 22 goals. Left-footed from 12 yards., 5' 04:29
  • Assist: Ashley Cole. "Gerrard soon rattled in a second after more positive approach work from Cole.

Jinking past his man on the right flank, his tantalising cross was gobbled up in predatory fashion by Defoe, who squeezed in between two markers to steer past Jesus Luis Alvarez." Jermain Defoe2nd of 20 goals. Left-footed from 6 yards., 38' 37:29
