About this goal

Le Tissier turns a series of Blackburn players inside out, creating space for a high curling shot into the top corner from range.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 28/30

 

Le Tissier is absolutely aware of his surroundings from the minute he gets the ball; where to run, where to find the space, where to put his shot.

Technical Difficulty 30/30

 

Le Tissier performs the calculations quickly in his head and takes the ball to the spot where he knows he can drop in his shot. And he does it all in two seconds flat.

Uniqueness 18/20

 

An individual goal spliced with a brilliant long-range finish - pretty rare.

Importance 5/10

 

Arrived in defeat to Blackburn.

Standard of Opposition 10/10

 

Blackburn

FootballCritic Verdict

9.1

Perhaps Le Tissier's finest goal, and one that shows just how good a player he was.
