About this goal
Poborsky displays electric pace to burst beyond the Leeds defence through on goal, allowing him to drill an emphatic finish into the far corner.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 19/30
United make it 80 yards with two passes, Beckham to Cantona, who supplies Poborsky for the run-in on goal that he makes look effortless.
Technical Difficulty 18/30
Leeds offer minimal resistance, with their midfield largely vacant, but United take no time to pick through with efficacy.
Uniqueness 11/20
Poborsky's finish is clinical but forgettable.
Importance 6/10
Rounds off an easy win against Leeds.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
LEEDS
FootballCritic Verdict
A goal that showcases United's dominance at the time, but not worthy of much assessment beyond that.
