About this goal

Le Tissier, knowing exactly what the plan is when he picks up possession, curls a looping strike into the top left corner, leaving the goalkeeper helpless.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30

 

Sounds ridiculous to say, but Le Tissier aims for that precise spot in top corner as if he's trying to hit a target at the circus.

Technical Difficulty 23/30

 

Not one of Le Tissier's most celebrated goals but the way in which he swerves the ball so accurately is glorious.

Uniqueness 13/20

 

It's a free-kick like strike from open play from one of the best ball strikers there has been in the league.

Importance 6/10

 

Equaliser away to Aston Villa.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

ASTON VILLA

FootballCritic Verdict

7.0

A lesser known Le Tissier but he was scoring goals like this so regularly it's easy to forget some of them.
