I think it's nailed on they'll give it credit.

All 3 seemed to agree it's the goal of the season so far so yup, they gave it the credit it deserves.

Yeah thought they did it justice. In fact, I thought Shearer's comments on the match were spot on. Although is it just me, or is Hansen never on the show when we win?

Dean Saunders goal at home to Ipswich was probably nominated.

IIRC, it was beaten to the Goal of the Month by Yorke's goal in the same match. The one when we had about 30 passes before he scored.

The Yorke goal was the Sheff Weds one I posted wasn't it?

We scored two against Ipswich. One with Yorke header on the end of the 30 passes and Deano's "miles better the Beckhams" lob of the keeper. The winning goal of the month picker decided Yorke's team goal was better the the lob so that won.

The 30 pass move was Yorke's goal against Sheffield Wednesday.

His diving header against Ipswich was an end-to-end counter attack with a (I think) Staunton cross.

I obviously didn't IIRC then. Always thought that they were both in the same game and although Villa won the goal of the month, I was pissed off the lob didn't win it.

I loved the Yorke goal at Southampton in 98 I think... on the volley. Love to see it again.

It was a brilliant goal. Good first control and a beautiful dipping volley, both done with players closing him down. The technique was superb.

This is what makes it so special for me.

I think I put on the post match thread, my favourite part is that he didn't let it come down too far, to take a volley in the way he did takes a lot of technique but more a lot of self-belief.  Seeing our players showing that level of belief in their abilities is the best thing given the year we've had.

Excellent technique and composure under pressure.  These youngsters are learning how to cope with adversity.

[Dave Cooper please]

Surely one of you geeks can get a gif of that goal on this thread?
Brilliant technique, superb first touch, all round goal of the season.

It's already in the post-match thread somewhere.

Here you go anyway Dave:



I could watch that all day.

As I have said earlier, the moment it flew in, the feeling was Even Better Than The Young Thing.

Alan Wrights goal at Boro was a cracker.

and his goal away against Spurs in 2000 was a corker! I think we were 2-0 down and won 4-2. Great day!
