Gary Mc called it “sublime” on RTV...that was spot on. Quite sensational finish that only a natural striker could execute.
My mates a Sunderland fan and says “can we have Defoe back please” they still love him down there. He was “best mates” with the poor wee 6 year old who died of cancer Bradley Lowery, Defoe was this boys hero and he was genuinely devastated when the boy died, has Bradley’s name tattooed on his arm.My favourite player in the league, what a fantastic man and terrific professional.

In a money-orientated sport with loads of multi millionaire superstar players who couldn’t really give a f&ck about the fans outside of organised PR events, I think it speaks volumes of JDs class and humanity that he couldn’t help but get so emotionally invested in this poor lad and his family’s plight.
Defoe really was world class in his pomp and that quality is still there today. When you can make the difficult ones like that seem effortless, that’s a special player.Gary Mc called it “sublime” on RTV...that was spot on. Quite sensational finish that only a natural striker could execute.
HoHowgoal of the week
apart from roofes obviously
It's up there with Roofes simply for the technique of it.
Killing the ball stone dead like that is a world class skill in itself
Just as good as Roofes IMO
Maybe wrong choice of word but just to cushion that ball and take it like that first time no power just sheer technique from that heightnot being funny but at what point was the ball stone dead? Looked like a first time finish to me so it never stopped moving.
Im not sure what Alfie brings that Defoe couldnt at the moment to be honest .....
What a difference 12 months makes
That's the thing it's made to look so easy the way he executes it,9out of 10 strikers would have skied it,but the cross is just sublime!It's literally a tap in. But the most exquisite tap in you'll ever see. The ball is outstanding and without breaking his stride he 'taps' it in. Still dont know how TF he does it so easily!!
Take a touch on that and it's fucked imo that goal was perfection slotted JD made that look toffee when in actual fact it's a skill few have.Many a striker would try and play the ball down and play it round the keeper but Defoe showed his class with an unbelievable finish.
Beautiful! That's his weak foot as well.
