- Excellent
one touch play combination between the two centre-forwards. The give and
go action catches the defence out and allows Aloisio to score. Shows importance
of being first to the ball and how attackers must always look for an immediate
return pass.
- The defence is caught out by the run off the ball and nobody follows
the initial run by Aloisio. The defenders could have got tighter to Anelka
to prevent him from playing the pass. It would be also interesting to
know why the defence is playing so deep.
