# Liverpool: Fans compare Oxlade-Chamberlain to Steven Gerrard after impressive long-range strike

**Liverpool scraped through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on penalties on Wednesday night, but there were some amazing goals before that. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s strike to pull the game back to 4-3 was one of the standout moments in the 5-5 draw with Arsenal.**

He’s making quite the habit of scoring from long range, with him already becoming the [first player to score two goals from outside the box](https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/1187101844289589250) in a single Champions League game this season. He’s now bagged [three goals in five appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) since returning from injury.

Liverpool’s official Twitter account posted news of the goals and many fans were quick into the replies to heap praise on the 26-year-old. Some even likened his long-range shooting to that of Steven Gerrard, who [scored 33 Premier League goals from outside the box](https://www.premierleague.com/news/487849) for Liverpool.
