My Favorite Kun Goal

Mine was the header in The FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley v Chelsea 2013
The leap and direction were brilliant Peter Czech just stood and watched
I was right on line with the ball in from Gaz Baz
Brilliant

I don’t know if it’s my favourite, but that is, for several reasons, a well nigh incomprehensible goal. It is, among other things, no look. It’s not lucky. He knows exactly, to the millimetre, how much he has to aim at.
If you notice, he often felt more comfortable touching the ball right of centre, even when he had the opportunity to hit it from dead centre with a gap in front of him. Making the angle more difficult seemed to make his judgement more certain. And he’d send it exactly over into the far corner. Nothing as extreme as this, though.
He could do it from the left, too, although it was of course much rarer. That goal against Chelsea in October 2013. He's definitely offside when the movement starts, but one second before the ball is released, he takes one economical step to get back onside. Not too much. Just enough. Such an intelligent player. Cech was a bloody good keeper, even then. But he has no chance.
Very fond of that goal against the rags in September 2013, too. The cross from Kolarov is as good as it can be in the circumstances, but it's well behind him. He didn't need crosses or assists to be perfect. Just approximately in the right area.
Oh God, look, I just love them all. I would buy a DVD of all his goals for us, and just watch it lovingly, over and over.
Give us a couple more, please, Sergio, before you go. Just for old times sake.

This goal is underrated in my opinion. The way he takes the ball with his back to goal and makes the space to turn and face goal by faking a shot, then nutmegs TWO players with a toe poke, possibly the only way he could have scored. It’s up there for me. I never saw anyone else score this kind of improvised goal.

The one against the dippers in 2013 is probably the best.

But also enjoyed these couple against the rags.





And of course the second goal in this match where he couldn't score a tap in but managed an absolute belter.

Just fantastic, I could watch these all day!
 
Enjoying watching these back - favourites probably the one v Utd from Kolarov's cross, just don't know he he hooked it back, the thump v Liverpool from Bernardo's run - the power & accuracy on his "wrong" foot and the one at OT that left Phil Jones in tatters - I was in a pub full of reds and neutrals for that one! The break away goal to finally win at Arsenal and the record breaker v Napoli.

But it's just great to see the variety, six-yard-box poacher, 25-yard screamers, delicate dinks, beautiful interplay, opportunist thievery, 90-yard break-outs, ultimate goal-machine.

Just hope he won't come back to break our hearts one day.
