Match No. 792 - Friday, 7th June 2002, 8:30pm
Assist: Michael Owen. "The ball breaks to Owen on the left of the Argentinian box. The Liverpool striker shifts the ball from his left to right foot and nudges it past Pochettino, who brings him down with an outstretched leg. It's a penalty! Beckham steps up to take the kick and sends it middle-right towards the goal. Cavallero doesn't move, and the ball sails into the net." David Beckham7th of 17 goals. Right-footed from 12 yards., 44' 43:16 (pen)
