Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 18/30

Not as visually appealing as the Brazilian's goal from the following season v Chelsea, but a great strike nonetheless.

Technical Difficulty 17/30

He has plenty of time to steady himself, isn't massively far out, and doesn't hit the strike with particular pace, but it is perfectly positioned.

Uniqueness 11/20

Your run-of-the-mill angled shot.

Importance 6/10

In a 3-3 home draw with Sheffield Wednesday

Standard of Opposition 5/10

Sheffield Wednesday.

FootballCritic Verdict

5.7

A perfectly serviceable, utterly forgotten end-of-season goal.
