Blackburn 3 - 2 Wimbledon (1996-04-17)

6.6

About this goal

Shearer holds off the attentions of his marker, allowing him to swivel quickly and send a signature slammed shot into the top right corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 21/30

 

This is almost identical to his goal against Tottenham in the same season - it's a throwback, and very much a Shearer move.

Technical Difficulty 21/30

 

The turn and shot is a Shearer trademark and he made it look much easier than it it was

Uniqueness 12/20

 

Shearer himself scored plenty of these, and when teams tended to play direct to a big man, more of this type of finish were seen.

Importance 6/10

 

Home winner over Wimbledon.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

WIMBLEDON

FootballCritic Verdict

6.6

A standard Shearer finish, one he made looked easy across his Premier League tenure.
