About this goal
Yeboah chests down and knees past a defender before cracking a half-volleyed finish which nearly breaks the woodwork in half before bouncing over the line.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 30/30
Yes, the second knee flick is perhaps a touch fortunate but what's not to love about the way he moves forward and then absolutely crushes his shot hitting the bar not once, but twice.
Technical Difficulty 26/30
A little bit of fortune in one of the touches but the strike itself is as devastating as there has been in the Premier League.
Uniqueness 20/20
The full move is completely and utterly original.
Importance 6/10
In an away victory against Wimbledon but helped to solidify his reputation as an unreal scorer of great goals.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Wimbledon
FootballCritic Verdict
Better than his volley, and one of the most completely original goals ever scored in Premier League history.
