On the official website- brilliant! Watching it like that shows how well Balotelli did as well. He was falling and still managed to thread through the most intricate of passes. And then how bloody cool is Aguerro! 99% of players would probably have hit that first time but the composure he had to drop the shoulder, beat his man and finish was breathtaking. So composed when anyone would have panicked.

Thats why it is goal of the decade, to me anyway. I doubt there will ever be a goal scored under so much pressure.

That shoulder dip is one of those things you cant teach. Its that combination of brain, confidence, training, execution that gives us hope that this kid could be one of greatest of our time. He is already on the map, just a matter of adapting to the english pace of the game. KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the class he showed when getting caught on the ankle. It didn't affect him one bit - all that was on his mind was creating that perfect angle.

I wonder what Ashley Young would have done under the same circumstances?

Also love the run inside from Kompany - he puts the defender on the back-foot giving Agueroooooooooo just enough room to get in behind.

Tear in the eye again, Vinny is in dream land, Kun has tears in his eyes.

Speachless....

Fucking love our team.

I can forgive all his fuck ups for that moment, that slow mo is the first time I've had a decent view of the pass he made. I am still so happy that I can barely believe any of this is real.

Goal of a lifetime more likely. My lifetime anyway. I have never experienced such a valuable goal for a team that I support with so much at stake and on top of it all in almost the last minute of injury time. I don't think I'll see such a goal (with same implications)again in my lifetime.
Just thinking about what might have been if Kun hadn't scored that goal makes me shiver every time !

Edit, have to also recognise the great work Balo did in setting up that goal.

There was actually contact too by the defender, Kun could have gone down, but he is a real man, so he steadied himself, it didnt distract him, worth every single penny.
