About this goal

Lallana embarks on a close-control dribble, jinking past a few tackles before sliding a finish into the corner from a tight angle.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 21/30

 

When Lallana is in full flow on a dribble it is great to watch as he commands such a poise when in possession. The finish isn't too bad, either.

Technical Difficulty 20/30

 

He is helped by some abject defending here, admittedly, but the close control is excellent.

Uniqueness 12/20

 

The way Lallana moves with the ball is fairly unique, but there's plenty of better goals in this genre.

Importance 6/10

 

Helped put Southampton into third in the table.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

Hull

FootballCritic Verdict

6.5

A brilliant goal from Lallana, and the kind of skill that would see him called up by England and then signed by Liverpool.
