Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30
Any lob over the goalkeeper is great to see, but Wijnaldum combines it with a gorgeous first touch to set himself up.
Technical Difficulty 23/30
The touch and the finish come basically all in one motion, and the keeper is beaten before he knows it.
Uniqueness 17/20
The way Wijnaldum lifts the ball is unique as he almost uses the outside of his boot from such close range.
Importance 7/10
Sent Liverpool three points clear of City at the start of February.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Bournemouth
FootballCritic Verdict
Wijnaldum is given the freedom to do as he pleases inside the box, but it is still a marvellous piece of skill as he makes the goalkeeper look silly.
