The stunning goal left the Gladys Street End in silence, while just over 3,000 fans in the Goodison away end erupted in celebration. This goal is undoubtedly one of the best in Premier League history.
Indeed, a dedicated supporter managed to capture the ongoing events on their device. Hence, the footage of Garnacho’s brilliant effort quickly surfaced on social media.
What did commentators say about Garnacho goal?
Gary Neville, providing commentary for Sky Sports alongside Rob Hawthorne, wasted no time drawing the inevitable comparison to Wayne Rooney.
Neville said: “He can’t believe it, Garnacho. I can’t believe it. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium to see an overhead kick as good as that – and I was there for Rooney’s in the Manchester derby. That was unbelievable. A magical, magical goal.”
Later in the match on Sunday night, Garnacho received with the Player of the Match award for his outstanding efforts. Teammate Bruno Fernandes, while joking about the performance, acknowledged that Garnacho has the ability to become a special someone in world football.
Just before Garnacho was presented with the Player of the Match award, Fernandes humorously remarked, “I don’t think he deserves it, but take it. For the goal, so you can remember it.”
