Man Utd 2 - 0 West Ham (2008/2009)

8.2

About this goal

Dimitar Berbatov chases a potentially lost cause to the byline before brilliantly skipping past the defender, allowing him to easily assist Ronaldo.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 23/30

 

All about the assist. Sometimes a move simply takes your breath away and Berbatov's assist is so good, Ronaldo points at him and offers his seal of approval.

Technical Difficulty 26/30

 

He has virtually no space to complete his spin but it's so unexpected and so expertly done that it appears totally mundane. It's not. It's genius.

Uniqueness 20/20

 

Have you ever seen a turn like that in such a tight area? No.

Importance 6/10

 

In a home defeat of West Ham

Standard of Opposition 7/10
