Wayne Routledge scores flying, acrobatic wondergoal

You should jump off of one foot and whip your leg around to hit a ball that’s waist high, then perfectly curl it into the corner. That is totally a thing that will blow our minds.

Wayne Routledge wasn't supposed to shoot that. The physics of the situation said no. And yet he did it anyway.

Let’s sort out the difficulty score:

- 3 points for hitting it first touch
- 2.4 points for the ball being waist high
- 1.9 points for the ball being slightly behind him
- 2.3 points for being 20 yards out
- 1.1 points for being an acrobat

That comes out to a score of 10.7, which may seem ridiculous on a scale of 10, but watch that goal again and try to argue that it’s not a 10.7.
