OMG! What a Goal: Robin Van Persie
By Jimmy LaRoue
Robin Van Persie scored a stunner of a goal today for Manchester United.
Perhaps a hair offside–though not called–Van Persie took an exquisite long ball from Wayne Rooney, sent from inside his own half, and with his left foot, volleyed it home to beat American goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
Van Persie had a hat trick within the first 33 minutes of the match, and though some will talk about the non-offside calls on the goals, no one can dispute the pin-point technique and skill from both Rooney and Van Persie on the play.
Here’s the stunner.
