About this goal
Henry plays a short corner with Jose Reyes and from an acute angle lashes his strike across goal, into the far corner, at pace.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30
Henry was at his peak, showing his ability to score every type of goal by nonchalantly smashing home from an acute angle.
Technical Difficulty 18/30
Not the most technically difficult of goals, as Henry has time and space to pick his spot - well within the wheelhouse of a player of this quality.
Uniqueness 11/20
Palace just stand off and let him shoot from range. It's not the most original of goals.
Importance 6/10
In a thrashing of a Palace team that would go down.
Standard of Opposition 5/10
Crystal Palace.
FootballCritic Verdict
A lovely goal but not even close to being one of Henry's best.
