Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 17/30

 

The shot is a pure one, though it's nothing that hasn't been seen before.

It's a paint-by-numbers long range goal that can equally go into the stand as into the corner.

Pretty generic long-ranger.

Importance 6/10

 

Goal in a win over Wigan

Standard of Opposition 6/10

 

WIGAN

FootballCritic Verdict

5.2

The type of goal that is great to watch but probably shouldn't be winning goal of the month competitions.
