Everything about this goal is marvelous: The lead up, a few sharp passes that settle the play, and the wonderful lofted switch by David Platt.
And then of course there's the exquisite skill of Bergkamp, who is now joining the coaching ranks at Ajax, as he juggles the ball not once but twice, first with the right foot and then the left foot, before cutting back inside to slot the ball home, as the defender, now almost foolishly, over runs the play. To top it off, this goal completed his hat trick in the game.
Leicester City 3-3 Arsenal, the game is from 1997 - Yeah, that's Kasey Keller getting beat by Bergkamp, if you're going to get beat then this isn't a bad goal to get beat on.
Hat tip to That's On Point for the video. I suggest taking a good look at this site and reading some of the posts, and joining the RSS feed. This is one of the best soccer blogs on the net. It's both funny and smart and always worth a read.
