About this goal

Gerrard takes advantage of a poor clearance from Fabien Barthez to stride forward and drill a powerful strike into the top left corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 23/30

 

The birth of Gerrard; striding forward with intent before unleashing a superbly accurate and powerful shot.

Technical Difficulty 21/30

 

A Gerrard special, one that comes with practice, but again, long-range goals are difficult to judge technically.

Uniqueness 14/20

 

Gerrard himself has scored more than his fair share of goals like this.

Importance 9/10

 

Kicked off a career and defeated Man Utd.

Standard of Opposition 10/10

 

Man Utd

FootballCritic Verdict

7.7

One of Gerrard's most barnstorming goals that first introduced his ability to shoot from distance.
