About this goal
Armstrong chests the ball into the path of Sheringham, who lofts a beautiful chip into the far corner from inside the box.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 24/30
Like Ian Wright in the same season, it's not immediately obvious that the chip is on, so it's more surprising and enjoyable when Sheringham executes it so well.
Technical Difficulty 25/30
Really tough to get the ball up and down from this proximity to the goal.
Uniqueness 13/20
Another great chip from an era from where they were more popular.
Importance 6/10
In away victory versus Coventry.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
COVENTRY
FootballCritic Verdict
Sheringham produces a moment of class, the type of goal that would see him end up at Man United by the end of the 96/97 season.
