Steven Gerrard has found net eight times in 30 appearances against the old enemy, including the fixture's first hat-trick since Ian Rush back in 2012, but in his very first one he became an unsung derby hero due to his heroics at the other end of the pitch.

The April 1999 encounter had everything. Olivier Dacourt gave Everton a first minute lead but the Reds came roaring back to lead 2-1 at half time thanks to a Robbie Fowler brace that made headlines for more reasons than one.

When Patrik Berger fired home from the edge of the box with eight minutes remaining, it seemed the Reds' first win over Everton in over five years was in the bag but Francis Jeffers pulled one back almost immediately to set up a grandstand finish.

Gerrard, in only his ninth appearance for the club after making his debut earlier in the season against Blackburn, had come off the bench to replace the injured Vegard Heggem at right-back after 71 minutes and proved to be Reds' real matchwinner.

Twice in injury time goalkeeper David James came careering off his line and past the ball to leave Danny Cadamarteri with an unguarded net, only for Gerrard to appear in the nick of time to clear the danger.

The 18-year-old's reaction, punching the air as if he had just thumped home a 30-yarder, showed what beating the Blues meant to him and all Liverpudlians.
