About this goal

Chesting the ball down in front, Kevin De Bruyne catches on the rise and wallops his effort in off the underside of the crossbar at immense speed.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 30/30

 

The technique - glorious, the thud in against the crossbar = complete.

Technical Difficulty 26/30

 

De Bruyne seems capable of hitting the ball harder, but with more control, than any other player around.

Uniqueness 18/20

 

We at FC rail against long-range goals but a purveyor of hitting a football like De Bruyne will always get a pass. A truly original technique on display here.

Importance 6/10

 

Led to a 2-2 draw away at Newcastle.

Standard of Opposition 6/10

FootballCritic Verdict

8.6

De Bruyne has a truly unique way of striking a football, and as soon as the ball bounced on the edge of the box you knew he had something special in mind.
