With 89 minutes on the clock at Stamford Bridge, substitute Sturridge dispatched a jaw-dropping, long-range curler over Kepa Arrizabalaga and into the far top corner.
The pin-point strike preserved Liverpool's unbeaten start to the top-flight season and was a fitting way for the No.15 to hit the half-century landmark, previously achieved for the Reds by Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt.
The breakdown of his 50 below shows Sturridge has scored a wide-range of goals during his 103 top-flight appearances for the club.
But if he's in the box and the ball is on his left foot, then watch out.
