About this goal
Sanchez runs beyond the West Ham back line and when closing on the goalkeeper, produces an outrageous dummy, before flicking his shot neatly into the corner to complete his hat-trick.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 25/30
It's so arrogant, so cheeky, and so supremely skilful to leave the goalkeeper helpless by feigning to shoot.
Technical Difficulty 21/30
Less difficult, and more just ballsy, to trust your own ability enough to dummy the goalkeeper and still find the time to slot home.
Uniqueness 16/20
Not many players since Pele have had the nerve to dummy the keeper in such a way.
Importance 6/10
The fifth goal in a 5-1 win, which goes some way to explain how Alexis was able to do this.
Standard of Opposition 6/10
WEST HAM
FootballCritic Verdict
A brilliantly disrespectful goal from a player at his peak, but loses points because West Ham had given him the time, and the buffer, to take any pressure off the move.
