About this goal

Dyer clips the ball into space and motors onto it, flicking the ball over an onrushing defender then flipping his shot arrogantly over the keeper and into the net.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30

 

This is a gorgeous goal, with each touch executed with guile right through to the lob over the exiled goalie.

Technical Difficulty 24/30

 

He covered half the pitch on his own and every touch was judged so well to keep his run going.

Uniqueness 17/20

 

A different sort of individual goal, with Dyer using guile and pace rather than dribbling ability to weave his way through the team.

Importance 7/10

 

In a good away win at Everton.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

Everton

FootballCritic Verdict

7.9

A totally underseen goal from Dyer, who at this point threatened, just briefly, to become a player edging towards world class.
