A superb team goal, with Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Wilshere exchanging one-twos before Wilshere deftly slots the ball home.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 27/30

 

The speed, accuracy and timing of the passes between the trio is positively mesmeric - if a little fortunate at the end.

Despite an element of luck, the technical proficiency to keep the move flowing is something peak Arsenal excelled at.

Uniqueness 20/20

 

It's a completely and utterly unique goal from every angle.

Importance 6/10

 

A straightforward home win over Norwich.

Standard of Opposition 5/10

 

Norwich

FootballCritic Verdict

8.4

The pinball element is a touch fortunate, but it doesn't detract from how rhythmically beautiful a goal it is.
