Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30

 

Not the smoothest of runs and you aren't sure whether Boufal is always in control but the shimmy and calm finish at the end are beautifully done.

Technical Difficulty 24/30

 

It's always difficult to carry the ball as far as Boufal does here, while retaining his composure to finish at the end.

Uniqueness 14/20

 

Not the most memorable individual goal but still one that is a rare breed in modern football.

Importance 7/10

 

Winning goal against a relegation rival.

Standard of Opposition 5/10

 

WEST BROM

FootballCritic Verdict

7.2

Individual goals have died out in recent years and while this isn't the slickest example, it's refreshing to see a player willing to travel so far with the ball at his feet.
