3. Free-kick genius vs Wimbledon in 93/94

In the same season as the Newcastle game, he scored one of the best free-kick goals you are ever likely to see in the Premier League.

The set-piece involved teammates too but wasn’t too complex – the ball was rolled back to Le Tissier and he had the audacity to flick it up and volley first time right into the top corner.

What makes this goal so pleasing on the eye too is the fact that he cuts across the ball just to add the perfect amount of swerve to send it where he wants it – sublime.
