8.8

About this goal

Yeboah chests down and knees past a defender before cracking a half-volleyed finish which nearly breaks the woodwork in half before bouncing over the line.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 30/30

 

Yes, the second knee flick is perhaps a touch fortunate but what's not to love about the way he moves forward and then absolutely crushes his shot hitting the bar not once, but twice.

Technical Difficulty 26/30

 

A little bit of fortune in one of the touches but the strike itself is as devastating as there has been in the Premier League.

Uniqueness 20/20

 

The full move is completely and utterly original.

Importance 6/10

 

In an away victory against Wimbledon but helped to solidify his reputation as an unreal scorer of great goals.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

FootballCritic Verdict

8.8

Better than his volley, and one of the most completely original goals ever scored in Premier League history.
