About this goal

Kane wins the ball at a tight angle near the goal line, and curls his effort brilliantly across Petr Cech and into the far corner.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30

 

The angle is acute but Kane finds the only spot where the ball can feasibly go in and it looks even better from behind.

Technical Difficulty 23/30

 

No fault of the defenders or the goalkeeper, just a perfectly placed shot.

Uniqueness 15/20

 

There won't be many goals scored in Premier League history from an angle this acute.

Importance 6/10

 

Put Spurs ahead in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Standard of Opposition 10/10

 

Arsenal

FootballCritic Verdict
