About this goal
Sigurdsson is given too much space around 30 yards out, but takes full advantage to wallop a blistering effort in off the crossbar.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 26/30
The way the ball cannons off the bar, and then off the inside of the post before going in is great.
Technical Difficulty 22/30
It is, after all, pretty much just a very, very fiercely struck shot.
Uniqueness 13/20
Like Babel's a free-kick like technique across the goalkeeper, but one absolutely perfectly positioned.
Importance 4/10
Consolation in a hammering at Southampton.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Southampton
FootballCritic Verdict
Another one for Sigurdsson's repertoire of excellent long distance strikes.
