I adore that Forest goal. Revenge served cold and deadly.
What year was that?

Very first year of the Premier League; 92/93
We lost the game 2-1 at the Dell.
Cheers, can't find any highlights sadly.
Here you are; around 2 mins 30 secs on this video. Nottm Forest are wearing white. Matty ****ing creams it with his left in front of the old Milton.

The Wimbledon free kick is in there too.
Almost 25 years later, and that type of goal is still being described as "Le-Tissier-esque" (see link below). There's not many players who can claim to 'own' a particular type of goal. Being twatted against the underside of the bar at 100mph will always be known as a 'Yeboah' to me, but I can't think of many other examples.

EDIT: I guess a diving header from outside the box could be a 'Van Persie'
Or a penalty kick landing on the moon is known as a Lovern.
A pivoting volley from the edge of the box, striking the ball at waist height, is a Zidane![]()
