About this goal

Riyad Mahrez's direct running from the right sees him cut inside two defenders and slide his finish through a third defender's legs and into the far corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 17/30

 

Mahrez quickly and incisevly cutting inside on to his left foot is always a pretty sight, even if the defending is pretty poor and allows him the space in which to run.

Technical Difficulty 17/30

 

It is indeed a lovely goal, but the jink inside on to his left foot is the only truly difficult part for a player of Mahrez's class.

Uniqueness 10/20

 

You know exactly what Mahrez is going to do as soon as he receives the ball, which shows how common it is for him.

Importance 8/10

 

In a key home win over Chelsea.

Standard of Opposition 8/10

 

Chelsea

FootballCritic Verdict

6.0

This is vintage Mahrez, but loses points as the defenders should have did more to stop his momentum.
