Goal scored by Cameron Jerome against Liverpool (Nov 9, 2009)

About this goal

Jerome catches Pepe Reina off-guard with a surprise long-range effort that flies over the Spaniard's head and home.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 17/30

The ball flashes in at great pace, but loses points for being close to the keeper, down the middle of the goal, who could do better.

Technical Difficulty 16/30

It's a speculative swipe from Jerome which is executed well but you could argue Reina should be better positioned.

Uniqueness 8/20

Generic long-range goal alert.

Importance 7/10

Put Birmingham ahead at Anfield, match would end in a 2-2 draw.

Standard of Opposition 7/10

LIVERPOOL

FootballCritic Verdict

5.5

One of the weakest Goal of the Month entries around - good goal but not a special one.
