Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 28/30
Wilshere's goal against Norwich gets more praise, but this is the better goal; every touch is perfectly timed and very deliberately executed.
Technical Difficulty 29/30
The textbook definition of pass and move at pace, slicing through Sunderland with such efficiency.
Uniqueness 19/20
For the pace of movement, the understanding, and the total control of movement, it's close to the best Premier League team goal.
Importance 6/10
In an easy home win over Sunderland.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Sunderland
FootballCritic Verdict
A vastly underrated goal, that while scored against a weak opponent, outstrips many more favoured team efforts.
