About this goal

Sinclair controls a clearance by teeing himself up, and then dips a cracking volley over the goalkeeper into the corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 23/30

 

Sinclair has quite the repertoire and in this one it's arguably a poor first touch that sets up the desire to volley.

Technical Difficulty 22/30

 

You could argue that his poor first touch is what makes the goal, but there's no denying the brilliance of the volley.

Uniqueness 14/20

 

More goals of this type than you might think.

Importance 6/10

 

In a thumping win over Charlton.

Standard of Opposition 7/10

 

Charlton.

FootballCritic Verdict

7.2

Not the best remembered of Sinclair's goals but still a pretty special piece of skill.
