Taking a Look Back at Tottenham’s 20 Best Goals Since 2010

#13. Roman Pavlyuchenko vs Rubin Kazin (Home) | October 20, 2011

When you think of set-piece kickers for Tottenham since 2010, at least two names will pop up: Gareth Bale and Christian Eriksen. Between the two players however, there was another one. While not as prolific in the art of free-kicks. Roman Pavlyuchenko did however produce a this gem of a shot.

During Spurs’ Europa League group stage match against Rubin Kazin on October 20, 2011 Pavlyuchenko’s free-kick from 22 yards out would be the difference in a 1-0 win in the 33rd minute. The Russian international expertly struck the ball into the top-right corner of the net which Rubin Kazin goalkeeper, Sergei Ryzhikov, never stood a chance in trying to save the ball

To aim at the very top corner on the near post is hard enough. To do that while striking the ball with a lot of force and creating a fastball is even more difficult to comprehend.
