About this goal

Owen displays lightning pace to run through and dink his shot over the oncoming goalkeeper with the outside of his foot.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 26/30

 

Owen, fresh off his World Cup exploits, shows absolutely no fear in driving through two challenges before flicking a glorious finish into the far corner.

Technical Difficulty 27/30

 

They try their best to bring him down, but Owen's balance is true, then it all comes together as he shows contempt for the situation by just stabbing into the net.

Uniqueness 15/20

 

A superb individual goal scored by a player who probably never got better than this.

Importance 7/10

 

As part of a hat-trick in a demolition of Newcastle.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

FootballCritic Verdict
