Tottenham Hotspur
Six years ago this week, and the Harry Kane juggernaut was starting to click into gear.
The striker, then 21, had scored his first Spurs hat-trick against Asteras Tripolis just six days previously, and was back on target with goal number 13 for the Club as we toppled Brighton, then in the Championship, 2-0 in the fourth round of the League Cup at the Lane. Erik Lamela was also on target.
Harry went on to score 31 goals in 2014/15 - he's now just two goals away from becoming only the third player to score 200 goals for Spurs, his 198 in all competitions racked up in 298 appearances.
Back to October, 2014, though, and this goal continued the fine performances from Harry and his Academy graduate team-mates in cup competitions at the start of the 2014/15 season, with the likes of Andros Townsend, Nabil Bentaleb, Danny Rose and Ryan Mason all heavily involved as we made it all the way to the final.
