About this goal

Konchesky runs onto a pass on the left well inside his own half, strides forward 40 yards and cracks a missile into the top corner which nearly breaks the net.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 23/30

 

It's pleasing watching Konchesky nudge, and nudge, and nudge, until he's in range to unleash his strike, and he doesn't disappoint when it comes.

Technical Difficulty 16/30

 

West Ham provide him with the freedom of the pitch to stroll into their territory, and the shot itself is somewhat a formality.

Uniqueness 10/20

 

Great to watch it fly in, but plenty of strikes like this across a season.

Importance 5/10

 

A consolation in a forgotten clash with West Ham.

Standard of Opposition 7/10

FootballCritic Verdict

6.1

A lovely long-range goal but one that in context probably deserves its relatively obscure place in history.
