Ronaldinho immediately came to mind.
Reminded me of Solskjaer more than anyone - one touch, low and hard into the corner.
You can't teach that. Its just pure talent
Balls, instinct and the way he set himself for the finish. Very impressive. You feel he can play anywhere along the front and he’ll bury one if he gets a sniff
People say he is another RVP but that was Bergkamp tonight
It’s RVP isn’t it? Sure he’ scored a goal exactly like that.
Agreed, very Bergkampesq... That first touch was absurd.
All 3 goals were of incredible high quality
Unbelievable talent. I’m always surprised genuinely when he misses
Future no 9. Great idea to have Cavani & Martial for short term. Really needs to develop quicker to be our main man because not many top class striker available out there.
The kid is a star.
That's an incredible touch. Stretching backwards and weights it perfectly in front of himself where he can just swivel and hit it.
I think it's a developed skill. Not taught but acquired through time spent doing everything you can with the ball and understanding how it moves and reacts.
The touch could be a number of players, but the second action, that's not a Bergkamp finish - has RVP a reversed touch like that?
I'll stick with Ronaldinho as things like that whole action were bread and butter for him.

Great finish but wierd when a cross into the box and this finish is called individual brilliance to suit an agenda. It's like oles wins don't count if any player does anything good the whole game, even if he signed the player or brought the player through as a 17 year old
Reminded me more of Bergkamp than Ronaldinho, to be fair.
It was a moment of world class ability any way you slice it. He's a frightening talent.

Actually reminded me of a Rooney strike more than anyone else. Obviously very different players though.

This! Apparently every other team their managers score the goals and don’t rely on any individual brilliance.
Ooohhhh Robin Van Persie
Yeah I’m sure Rooney scored something similar. I wouldn’t be as confident with Romney’s first touch but the finish he’d have pulled off.
Very Shola Ameobi-esque
Would like to see a front 3 of Rashford, Greenwood and Shoretire in the near future
The more I’m seeing of this kid Shoretire the more I’m liking.

It's a pure strikers goal so nothing like Ronaldinho to be honest. It's Van Persie really
Ruud scored a goal like he did didn't he? He scored many like that maybe but I remember one in my head but for the life of me I can't remember against who - I think Ronaldo set him up
A young Rooney for Everton. But Bergkamp sprang to mind on 1st viewing.
If its the one im thinking of it was Rooney with the outside of his foot.
I'm so, so happy for the lad. You can see a great amount of pressure coming off his chest.
His left foot is already close to Saha's level and he can improve it even further.
Actually maybe, it was definitely one of them
Aaah... so beautiful.The things he can do.
This will get criticized and I don't mind. Love to be proven wrong. I don't know what really happened either. But I actually think the touch is fluke, he just gets a touch to it to his favored left foot, it then moves in the air at and angle and direction perfect for him to execute his beautiful finishing technique.
The beautiful parts here are two:
1) His quick reaction/response to the flailing ball
2) His beautiful technique to finish the ball at a difficult angle, it's a volley right?
I think it was just really a pure poachers goal. I didn't think his touch was quite in the class of Bergkamp or Ronaldinho for that sake. But his composure and finishing is excellent for his age. Hope he keeps on improving.
He’s RVG, MVG or GunWood.
Don’t know where you’re going with Dinho. Who said Ole? With the touch to bring it down. You’re mad.

He is our best finisher.
This goal is all about the first touch. It was really fantastic control of the ball.
No way it is a fluke. Can tell the way he was ready to strike it as soon as he made the touch and the way he positioned his body before it wrong footed the defender before he received it.
The things he can do.

Doesn’t remind me of RVP or Bergkamp (whose touches were obviously world class but more made it so easy for himself he could walk it in) this was more like a Van Basten... flicking it into an area where he can strike low and hard with extreme precision, a proper technical strikers touch.
Yep Ruud instantly came to my mind.
Still remember the german commentator saying sth along the lines of "Uniteds tactic is just bringing it to Ruud in the box and let him do the work."
Ronaldinho would bring it around the defender, turn his body and do a bicycle kick
Of course it's not a fluke touch. It's not like he knows to the inch where it's going to land, it doesn't matter. He flicked it to where he knew he'd be able to get on the end of it, it's a great striker's goal. Any defender in the world is going to struggle with that kind of quick movement and shooting in the box. God knows how good he can get.
Sounds like my wedding night.
