8.7

About this goal

In a display of incredible technique, Suarez catches the ball on his shoulder, slides a touch past the keeper, and finishes, all in one movement.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30

 

What Suarez does, even on multiple viewings, seems impossible, yet very possible for a player as good as him.

Technical Difficulty 30/30

 

To cushion the ball and the score the goal, having watched the ball travel such a distance, is astonishingly difficult.

Uniqueness 20/20

 

They could play Premier League football for another 1,000 years and you wouldn't see a goal like this.

Importance 6/10

 

In a leveller against Newcastle.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

Newcastle

FootballCritic Verdict

8.7

A tragically underappreciated goal that 99.9% of EPL players wouldn't even dream of attempting. And yes, he means it.
