I honestly don't know!

Yaya's was just a fantastic strike that very few players in the world could have done. Plus it was quite unexpected as we'd spent so much time passing the ball from side to side without much threat, that he just pulled that out of nothing. No one on the pitch knew what was coming except Yaya.

But the second goal was a fantastic team move - from Kolarov's header back to Pantilimon, to the superb finish from Nasri.

Those 90 seconds were simply phenomenal. Completely turned the game on its head, and despite Sunderland not giving up, it did knock the wind out of them.

Yep it was. I don't think I had properly stopped celebrating when all of a sudden it was two one! It must've been a huge blow to S'land to concede the second so after we got level.

Both absolutely fantastic goals and there's not many games in football where Samir's goal isn't the best goal of the game but Yaya's strike was just incredible!

Just watched the Yaya one again on the club video set to music.
I didn't realise at the time but he hardly has any follow through on the ball! His foot pretty much stops just after he connects. If I tried that I think I might get three yards instead of thirty. Absolutely incredible strike.

Nasri's was probably the better goal in the context of the game. I've little doubt that Sunderland expected us to score, but such a strike within 90 seconds of the equaliser would have hit them for six.

However, taken individually as two pieces of play, I'd say Yaya's was the more impressive strike.

Missed Nasri's for the same reason - was hoping to take advantage of a lull in play after the restart.

Considering how long the lines to the loo were half of Wembley missed Yaya's and Nasri's goals.

I had my dick out when Yaya scored, but just made it back up the stairs to the stand to see Nasri's fly in. (I did take the time to put it back in before running out of the WC)

Nasri popped his cock away just before he unleashed his shot?

At the ground I thought Yaya's was the best but having watched it on the telly I now think Samir's was better. Such pace on that shot. Still buzzing.
