Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 22/30
Not the smoothest of runs and you aren't sure whether Boufal is always in control but the shimmy and calm finish at the end are beautifully done.
Technical Difficulty 24/30
It's always difficult to carry the ball as far as Boufal does here, while retaining his composure to finish at the end.
Uniqueness 14/20
Not the most memorable individual goal but still one that is a rare breed in modern football.
Importance 7/10
Winning goal against a relegation rival.
Standard of Opposition 5/10
WEST BROM
FootballCritic Verdict
Individual goals have died out in recent years and while this isn't the slickest example, it's refreshing to see a player willing to travel so far with the ball at his feet.
