Who scored the bigger & better goal: Tottenham’s Danny Rose vs. Arsenal or Inter’s Maicon vs. Juventus?
There’s not much you can do to describe a world-class strike. Everything is present: skill, technique, finesse, power, and of course a bit of luck. Well 19-year-old Danny Rose of Tottenham scored his first goal for the White Hart Lane faithful to help push the Spurs closer to a 4th place finish by defeating Arsenal 2-1 (and Spurs beat Chelsea yesterday by the same score at White Hart Lane). Rose hit a superb 30 yard, left-footed first-time volley that rocketed past Manuel Almunia to give Tottenham the lead, and then the team in white never looked back. Inter Milan, who lost their lead in Serie A after tying Fiorentina 2-2 last weekend, were given a huge boost from Maicon, who scored the goal of his life to down rivals Juventus at the San Siro. Stuck at nil-nil in the 75th minute, Maicon unleashed a bit of Brazilian magic to give the Nerazzuri the incredibly important lead as he juggled the ball a few times then unleashing a vicious right-footed volley in the back of Juve’s net. Samuel Eto'o, a proven goalscorer for Inter, admitted that Maicon’s strike was easily the goal of the season for Inter.
Inter would go on to win the game 2-0, putting a lot of pressure on fellow title challengers Roma to keep pace. Tottenham, after two invaluable wins over their “bigger” London rivals, are above Manchester City in the Premier League table, and are sitting two points clear in 4th. The strikes are shown below, so you decide, which golasso was the best?
