About this goal

Running through on goal Harry Kane receives a nudge which causes him to lose balance, but somehow, swings out his leg and scoops the ball over Kasper Schmeichel and into the corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 20/30

 

The charm of this goal actually comes from how scruffy it is, and how it takes multiple viewings to work out how he got it in the net.

Technical Difficulty 29/30

 

For Kane to shape this body the way he does, while falling to the floor, is a testament not only to his instinct in front of goal but also his agility.

Uniqueness 20/20

 

There hasn't really been a goal like this in the Premier League, or anywhere else.

Importance 5/10

 

A goal in a 2-1 loss at Leicester

Standard of Opposition 8/10
