Man Utd 7 - 1 Blackburn (2010/2011)

7.9

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

FootballCritic Verdict

7.9

This was a poor Blackburn side, but a great example of a move as a whole being attractive rather than just the finishing touch.
