Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 16/30
Bellamy sets off on a low-key run, not really beating any players, though his finish from the angle is explosive.

Bellamy shows good close control and his shot is pure, though the goalkeeper should perhaps do better.
Uniqueness 7/20
Run and shot - a good shot - but a run and shot nonetheless.
Importance 6/10
Leveller in a non-descript draw with Portsmouth
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Portsmouth
FootballCritic Verdict
