Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30
A magnificent feat of skill and agility like this is always pleasing on the eye, we're just glad VAR didn't rule it out for a high foot!
Technical Difficulty 25/30
He makes a split second decision to opt for the overhead kick, but then still has to perform it. Great piece of skill.
Uniqueness 18/20
A weird, wonderful, overhead-bicycle hybrid effort.
Importance 7/10
Would ultimately come in defeat to Arsenal.
Standard of Opposition 5/10
Arsenal
FootballCritic Verdict
An unconventional but no less brilliant goal.
