About this goal
Wright spins sharply inside the opposition half and drives ahead, managing to finish despite having five defenders all trying to stop his run.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30
Wright shows explosiveness to escape the defenders in the first instance, and the image of five of them trying to stop them, and failing, is great.
Technical Difficulty 23/30
Wright shows once again what a complete player he was, adding power and dribbling to his devastating finishing.
Uniqueness 14/20
A very nice little individual goal in that the defenders don't stand off - they are trying to stop him all the way.
Importance 5/10
Unfortunately scored in a home defeat to Everton.
Standard of Opposition 8/10
EVERTON
FootballCritic Verdict
A rarely-seen Wright goal but another that just adds to his lore as one of the league's best-ever forwards.
