I just watched the goal again. The only place Wickham could score was on the near post, it was a decent hit yes, but it was the only place he could score and was a nice height for the keeper. No way should he have been beaten from that angle.
Er, the touch was great, it allowed him to slot the ball home. In his stride. Give the guy some credit, even if he couldn't do it again.
It's cheap to dig at a goalie on such goals. It was a great goal. Start a thread about their goalie giving us two cheap goals.
It wasn't. A better touch would have given him a better angle but rather it took him slightly wide.
The only place the lad could score was by the near post. You have to expect your keeper to save that. If it was in the top corner fair enough but it was at a good height for the keeper. He should have saved that and any top class keeper would have done.
As for who is better in the Premier League? Certainly De Gea in my opinion but that's not going to happen. Tim Krul might be worth a look at though.
