Giggs goal against Arsenal. No one bothers to tackle him and then its a keeper mistake to let that in.

Most ridiculous comment of the season.

Congrats.

Good counter argument

Funny you mention that ronaldinho one against Chelsea. Me and my mate had an argument a few months back about whether he simply toed it or not.

I argued yes because it just looks obvious to me, but he kept saying it was the side of his toes or something. Anyway, it takes away from the goal imo

That RVP volley from the Eboue cross is probably the greatest goal in PL history. That, Kasami’s, Cisse vs Cech, Figueroa & Le Tiss where he flicked it over the guy probably make top 5

With that, Gaza’s vs Scotland was underwhelming. Le Tiss’s was far better.

Also Ronaldos overhead vs Juventus is the worst overhead I have ever seen.

great goals all seem to be about individual brilliance... like a long range shot/volley.

I prefer team goals. None better than this one. Pure class

I agree 100% with the Ronaldinho goal against Chelsea. Good goal but not great.
Cantona's vs Sunderland is another that I didn't find that special. The celebration made it look better.

That Henry goal vs Spurs, 2002 i think.

He runs for miles but basically goes from mid own half to edge of Spurs box before being contronted with a player, sells one dummy, slightly bad touch which wrong foots king i think, and a decent finish from the edge. Nice but more the fact it was vs Spurs that makes notable

Similar to the much heralded goal he scored against Liverpool at Highbury.
Basically ran unmolested, Hamman fell over whilst running behind him, Carragher more or less sold himself a dummy and then Henry scored.
Was slightly rewritten over the years as Henry taking on the whole team, then scoring.

this one

that was very elegant, pure genius.
seriously though i like that goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only issue with this goal is he was trying to flick it up for an overhead kick but mis-controlled it

Wow seriously? I suppose Zidane’s volley was also the worst volley you’ve ever seen?

* looks at profile and recognised that it’s a Utd fan coming to defend his beloved

He literally miss-kicks it and scuffs it into the corner. I can easily name you 10 better overhead kicks in the PL alone.

John. Barnes vs Brazil was not overrated at all.

Sorry - not read back but Rooneys overhead shin against whomever

posted on 27/4/20

Zlatan’s overhead against England.

Zidane’s volley in the CL Final.

Bergkamp vs Newcastle as well.

The Ronaldinho goal at Stamford Bridge.

Best overhead kick ever?

Which flew like a rocket into the top corner

Wilshere vs Norwich is one of the best goals ever. Anyone saying that one needs to get a grip.

Miles better than any volley.

Ronaldo's overhead against Juventus was awesome. he was almost parallel when connected. An amazing goal.

Rooney's had a bit of luck, what with it coming off his shin.

The dummy against carragher is quite aesthetic to watch

This is the goal that comes to mind for me, he doesn't actually go past anyone or take them on, he dribbles the ball up the edge of the box, pretty much unopposed, shifts it to the left and scores with a fairly weak shot.
