- Alejandro Garnacho’s strike against Everton will certainly produce the goal of the season
- The bicycle kick was better than anything we have ever seen in the history of football
- No one will be fooled by the nature of Man United’s performances this season IAKO
We have now witnessed the biggest bicycle kick of the match.
It can’t be beat in terms of technique or execution.
For 0.86 seconds, all of Goodison Park was captivated as the ball flew from Alejandro Garnacho’s foot into the Everton goal.
It was better than Dimitar Berbatov against Liverpool. Better than Andy Carroll against Crystal Palace. Better than Emre Can against Watford. Better than Cristiano Ronaldo against Juventus. Better than Gareth Bale against Liverpool. Better than Wayne Rooney in the Manchester derby, not least because he really shone in it.
I attempted a single bicycle kick in my time. Of course I did. But I knew my limitations as a striker. I’d rather go home than pretend I’m some kind of trapeze artist.

But Garnacho had the balls to try less than three minutes into this match.
You get to Carnegie Hall by practicing. But this is not something you work on during training. It happened spontaneously and Garnacho linked up seamlessly with the ball as he retreated towards his own goal, adjusting his body to hit the ball.
His self-confidence must be enormous to ever entertain the idea of such a spectacle.
It’s no wonder he copied Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘siuuu’ celebration in the aftermath. He earned it.
Even I was excited about it, which is saying something because I’m certainly not the biggest Manchester United fan!
Make room on your mantelpiece, Mr. Garnacho. The Premier League Goal of the Season award is coming your way this May.
