5. Delicate chip over Peter Schmeichel in 96/97

This goal came in a famous 6-3 win over Manchester United and saw Le Tissier make a mockery of one of the best goalkeepers ever seen.

He received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and twisted around two United defenders, not even looking up before chipping the ball perfectly over Peter Schmeichel.

‘Le God’ was perhaps heading more towards the end of his career during this season but still bagged a vital 13 league goals along the way.
