I can't stop watching it and it's such an odd goal, so many little things about it went our way, so many fine margins involved, that it strikes me as odd and almost like it was fate.
Firstly, it starts when Nasri thinks the ball has come off Wright-P and lets the ball go out for a throw in, thinking it is ours when in fact, it came off Pab Zab. Had he known that then he would have kept the ball in instead and played on, would we have scored? Perhaps not but his mistake led to us getting the ball back and working it upfield quickly, starting the move that brought the goal.
Then Balotelli slips on the edge of the box but still manages to poke the ball through to Sergio when he could have missed it altogether and there was a QPR player on the verge of hoofing it away, the ball comes through to Sergio and he has 3 guys around him but he keeps his balance, slips to the ball to the right slightly and then scores with a shot that looks to me like it is slightly mishit and which subsequently fools and wrong foots Kenny.
