Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30
Watching people stand and watch as the ball rolls into the net unchallenged is always a fun event.
Technical Difficulty 21/30
This is tough because, after all, he simply passes the ball with pace into the net while Alisson isn't ready. However, Dunk earns extra points for his opportunism.
Uniqueness 18/20
Quick free-kicks are more rare than you think, and this is one of the best, most recent examples.
Importance 5/10
In a loss against Liverpool at Anfield
Standard of Opposition 10/10
Liverpool
FootballCritic Verdict
One of the few players to actually score at Anfield in 19/20, and it took a great piece of thinking to do it.
