About this goal

Fowler leaves Steve Staunton for dead with a neat turn before driving forward and smashing an emphatic finish into the net.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30

 

The finish is excellent, but it is the piece of skill to turn the defender which is the most impressive element.

Technical Difficulty 23/30

 

Fowler was playing with such confidence and naivety at this early stage in his career that he thought he could do anything, but this is a far from easy goal.

Uniqueness 15/20

 

The turn is the gloriously original and rewatchable part of this goal.

Importance 6/10

 

In a defeat of a good Aston Villa side.

Standard of Opposition 9/10

 

ASTON VILLA

FootballCritic Verdict

7.5

Vintage Fowler, playing at the peak of his powers, turning a massively experienced defender with ease before smashing into the net.
