About this goal
Wright keeps his eye on the ball and, whilst on the stretch, pulls off a first-time volley high into the net.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30
Limpar's hooked pass doesn't give Wright much time to adjust and knows while leaning back he's got to take something off the shot to ensure it hits the target.
Technical Difficulty 21/30
Difficult to make proper connection on the volley while leaning back, let alone find the corner with such pace on the effort.
Uniqueness 13/20
A pretty unique volley in the position he connects with the ball - makes it more difficult than when a player is set to strike.
Importance 6/10
In a straightforward rout of Southampton
Standard of Opposition 6/10
SOUTHAMPTON
FootballCritic Verdict
An underseen Wright goal that lacks the technical skill of others but is still an example of devastating finishing.
