About this goal
Shearer, whilst facing his own goal, manages to turn a whip a shot across into the far right corner of the goal.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 21/30
Shearer plays the role of the traditional back-to-goal striker, and the manner in which he swivels and shoots in one movement is from a bygone era.
Technical Difficulty 21/30
Difficult to generate the power required to lift the ball into the corner with no momentum.
Uniqueness 12/20
This type of goal was more commonplace in the 90s, with Shearer himself retaining a mini collection.
Importance 6/10
In a home win over Tottenham
Standard of Opposition 7/10
TOTTENHAM
FootballCritic Verdict
Not one of the most memorable from Shearer's back catalogue but a nice throwback to traditional forward play.
