About this goal

A fabulous passing move involving Dennis Bergkamp, Edu and Robin Van Persie is rounded off with aplomb by a Vieira lob.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 27/30

 

As slick a team move as there is, the incisive one-touch build culminates with the sheer disrespect in Vieira's finish. Perfect.

Technical Difficulty 25/30

 

Everton are on the end of the battering and give Arsenal room to play, but the pace of the play and awareness is from a team in perfect harmony.

Uniqueness 16/20

 

One of the higher-end team goals, with Arsenal having a collection of these all of their own.

Importance 6/10

 

Just another goal in the destruction of a good Everton side.

Standard of Opposition 9/10

8.3

A superb team goal, one of the league's best, against an Everton team who were Champions League qualifiers.
