About this goal
Some astounding interplay from Arsenal as Vieira fires into the path of Henry, who finds Pires, who then returns possession to Vieria, who dinks over the oncoming keeper with disdain.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 28/30
Arsenal at their very best here. The movement, the precision of the passing, and that finish... outstanding.
Technical Difficulty 26/30
As soon as Vieira puts the ball into Henry's feet, all three players seem to know exactly what role to play and when.
Uniqueness 15/20
The dictionary definition of carving a team open, but this is up there as one of the best examples in Premier League history.
Importance 5/10
In a loss versus Liverpool.
Standard of Opposition 8/10
Liverpool
FootballCritic Verdict
Three players at the top of their game involved in a goal so beautiful that it makes you wonder how they lost the league.
