Le Tissier Geordie-slaying brilliance
There was lots of good goalkeeping in the Premier League yesterday, but not much in the way of spectacular goals. So, to tide us over in the meantime, here’s some vintage Matt Le Tissier from ‘93.
Southampton legend Le Tissier scored both goals in a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United that day. The match-winning strike in the video hit the back of the net three minutes from time. And what a way to win a match!
Each touch en route to goal just serves to confirm his genius: flicking the ball out from behind his back; ghosting by the first defender; lobbing the second and passing the ball into the corner of the net… Brilliant. And not dissimilar to this Davie Cooper strike for Rangers.
