Youri's Goal of the Century Thread

[jimsmallman]

I celebrated that goal so loudly that my four year old son is now scared of football.

 

I have watched the goal again roughly 500 times since last night.  Even American work colleagues who don't care for "soccer" have messaged me to say what a great goal it was.

 

What a player that lad is.

Still emotional this morning... 

Chelsea 0-1 Leicester: Gary Lineker & James Maddison go wild for Youri Tielemans screamer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/57131642

Tuchel - Goal was Lucky.

 

Chelsea Fan on Sky 

VAR is rubbish the FA should ban it. 

Goal was lucky if our goalie was taller he'd have saved it.

Has anyone done any analysis on it to see exactly how far out he hit it from?

 

Judging it, I'd guesstimate around 28 yards?

Unreal. Best goal I've ever celebrated.

 

He's bloody off balance and leaning back and still managed to hit it so true and so straight. 

 

Youri deserves it so much as well, unbelievable.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Absolute stunning strike, aimed for the top corner and hit it so sweetly.

 

Must mention the Perez block which led to the goal, it was a great bit of work as he could just of let it go.

[LCCFox96]

Godly strike from Tielemans, and a real cloud 9 moment for the fans. 

 

That has to go down as, not just one of the greatest ever FA Cup Final goals, but one of the greatest ever Leicester City goals.

Watching it back, Silva should’ve gone out and engaged Youri... but he knew he was going to hit it, stood off and held his hands behind his back.

 

Thiago Silva knew that was flying in the moment Youri received the ball

The bloke is incredible. Statue when

Where's that banger clip from the dude in the stands behind the goal please?

I'm sure I saw one of the newspapers put it at 29.19 yards this morning. 

[Finn Claw II]

It looks great in black and white.  The BBC clip is awesome

[dynamark]

Fantastic. Superb goals. Great to hear his name pronounced correctly in Vlaams /Dutch.

The way it hung in the air for so long and the way it seemed to be in slow motion, it reminded me of Claridge's Wembley winner in 96.

[Saxondale]

Remember thinking it was his sort of range and he had some space. The strange thing about football is that if had been three or four inches to the left, we’d have never mentioned it ever again. 
 

I didn’t really remember the ball in flight, I just remember seeing him in space, thinking ‘have a go, Youri’, then seeing the net ripple. This was followed by a split second of disbelief (did this really just happen?) then absolute carnage. What a moment.

[TWUKO]

As soon as it deflected of perez and Thomas picked it up I could see the space in front of tielemans, saw the pass coming the look over the shoulder, he knew he has the time and space, I just shouted run into the space, run into the space, hit it!!!!!

 

Then lost my voice shouting like I've never shouted before!

 

Take a bow son, ye don't save those!

[Daggers]

"The best player on the field".

 

Not my words, Carol, the words of Match of the Day commentator Guy Mowbray.

Outstanding strike. 
Love even more with the disappointment in Hoddles voice.

I almost threw the Dog into the Ceiling when the Ball hit the Net.  The poor thing didn't know what was happening.

He's only  11 Months old.

 

A goal worthy of winning any game, Never mind our Maiden FA Cup Victory.
