Underrated Arsenal Goals?

Post by Bring Back Pires »

Okay, so we've all remember the Bergkamp goal at Newcastle, the Henry strike over Barthez, and the Pires lob against Aston Villa, but which goals in AFC history don't get the recognition they deserve? I'm talking primarily about aesthetic appeal, but you can also opt for historical significance should you wish.

I personally think the Pires chip against Southampton into the North Bank was never really given the credit deserved, and Bergkamp's goal against Barcelona at Wembley was tremendous, yet never seen in highlight packages. The Vieira goal against Man Utd into the clock end and over Schmeichel was a wonder goal.

Over to you lot!

Yes, that's a good choice. Strange, as it was highly lauded at the time (and maybe even won goal of the season?), yet has seemingly been forgotten about - at least by the media - ever since. Hardly ever see it on TV, or even spoken about.

Another good call. Am assuming you're referring to the FA Cup Semi-Final in 2005? That was fucking immense. Probably prefer that to the Charlton goal, come to think of it.

I love seeing defenders score good goals. A few of my favs:

Cole vs Villa - The trick and the pass from Henry, the controlled 1 touch through ball from Bergkamp and the run + finish from Cashley was brilliant.

Sol vs Portsmouth - Just the sheer power in the shot and for a centre half to take a pop from outside the box, wonderful to see.

Lauren vs Chelsea - Great run and finish!
