Some people prefer long-range strikes, others like well-worked team moves and some believe a goal’s quality can be measured in its significance.
If it’s the latter which makes a goal stand out, Anthony Martial’s powerful effort against Manchester City is a shoo-in for March’s Goal-of-the-Month accolade.
Not that the Frenchman’s strike was devoid of quality - far from it, in fact, and anyone who has ever tried to volley a football knows how difficult it can be to catch it right in the sweet spot.
Yet, with just over 73,000 watching inside the Theatre of Dreams, and millions more tuning in around the world, Anthony spotted a gap at Ederson’s near post and had the composure to send his effort exactly where he wanted it to go.
