Alejandro Garnacho’s incredible goal for Manchester United against Everton left fans and pundits in awe. The 19-year-old forward stunneԀ Goodison Park with a remarkable bicycle kιck just four minutes into the match. Diogo Dalot’s hopeful ball into Everton’s area found Garnacho, who executed a perfect overhead kιck, leaving Jordan Pickford helpless as the ball flew into the net.
In a display of admiration for his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, Garnacho celebrated the goal by performing the sign of the cross and then recreating Ronaldo’s trademark ‘Siu’ celebration in front of the Everton supporters. He also pointed to the turf, imitating Ronaldo’s ‘I am here’ celebration. Garnacho has previously expressed his admiration for the former United striker, who now plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Former United captain Roy Keane praised Garnacho’s goal at halftime during Sky Sports’ coverage of the match, describing it as “absolutely amazing.” Keane commended the youngster’s movement, the quality of the ball from Victor Lindelof, and the skill level displayed in executing the overhead kιck. Michael Dawson, a former Spurs captain, also marveled at the goal, comparing it to Wayne Rooney’s famous strike against Manchester City.
Garnacho’s goal not only put Manchester United ahead in the match but also silenced the home support at Goodison Park, who had been protesting the club’s 10-point deduction in the Premier League. The goal was a brilliant start for the young forward and showcased his talent and potential on the big stage.
