About this goal
This is all about the build-up; Berbatov starts the move near his own corner flag and finishes a sweeping attack by lashing into the net.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 24/30
The way in which United move the ball quickly across the pitch, with Berbatov involved on three different occasions, creates a wholly unique counterattacking goal.
Technical Difficulty 26/30
To keep the move flowing at pace, with Berbatov orchestrating events, with each member playing their part (particularly Nani), is a great technical goal.
Uniqueness 17/20
Team goals don't often involve one member being involved at three different parts of the move.
Importance 6/10
One of Berbatov's five in a rout of Blackburn.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Blackburn
FootballCritic Verdict
This was a poor Blackburn side, but a great example of a move as a whole being attractive rather than just the finishing touch.
