That's a rare one, overhead kick without a hand supporting him on the floor.

 

As well as the sheer athleticism and reactions needed to get to the cross after it'd been deflected...

 

'tis a thing of beauty.

It's a very good goal, but no way one of the best goals ever. If it was scored outside a top 4 team it wouldn't get the coverage it will now.

the fact it was scored against a team that cost ££££ and against international defenders and one the best keepers in England means it was great for that alone....

 

if he scored that against burton albion it would not have been as good...that is the way it works..

not many goals are as good as that, ball going away from him, the height he got, the athletic ability and the way it found itself in the top corner

What also makes it special was that it was the winner.

Unbelievable goal. Unsurprisingly all over YouTube at the moment before the PL copyright nazis get involved:

Dragging it slightly back on topic, I can't remember Le Tiss scoring many overheads...

 

Yep, it has gone ! I actually haven't seen it so cannot compare it to Keegan's "non goal" in about 1980 which would definitely have counted under the offside rules of today. I'm sure that IS on you tube, maybe :)

Yep it is:

 

 

What a surprise it was AGAINST Man Utd, at least as good as the Rooney goal IMO. Even allowing for the different offside rules back in 81/82 it should have stood. Armstrong being in an offside position made not a jot of difference :x

Best overhead goal right here.

 

Rivaldo. last minute. last game of the season. Valencia a really good team back then. For a hat trick and also meant qualification for the Champions League.

detested the big lanky cheat ever since he went down in the World Cup clutching his face when the ball (barely) hit him amidships. everything he has done before and since then is null and void.

they showed the first of these (the overhead) last night on MOTD2 in a piece spinning off from Rooney's "wundergoal". Somehow i expect we'll see Rooney's repeated more times than Danny Wallace's, even though you could argue Danny's is better as he has much less time to react and get into position.
