About this goal

The ball breaks to Fabinho around 25 yards out, and with one touch to set himself up, he arrows a glorious strike into the left corner with Claudio Bravo powerless to get across goal to keep it out.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 21/30

 

The first touch to set himself up is excellent, while the arrowed nature of the strike is satisfying as it hits the back of the net, even if Bravo should maybe get across his goal quicker.

Technical Difficulty 20/30

 

It is an extremely clean strike as Fabinho follows through perfectly on the long-ranger.

Uniqueness 12/20

 

There are many long-range goals but the speed in which he gets the shot off sets it apart.

Importance 10/10

 

Key goal in a potentially championship-defining game against Man City

Standard of Opposition 9/10
