About this goal
Tevez and Wayne Rooney share a telepathic one-two, the latter backheeling into the Argentine's path for him to slot home a neat goal.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 20/30
The one-two is a little unorthodox but Rooney's backheel is particularly effective.
Technical Difficulty 21/30
The distance that the move takes place over means each pass has to be timed decisively.
Uniqueness 13/20
An interesting take on the one-two goal, done well.
Importance 6/10
A goal in a win over Middlesbrough
Standard of Opposition 6/10
MIDDLESBROUGH
FootballCritic Verdict
A goal that is smooth in execution but in isolation is not among United's best back catalogue.
