Oh my. Burnley's Jeff Hendrick must have shined his boots with pixie dust today, because he's out here, playing Bournemouth with a touch of magic. Just take a look at this wonder-goal he scored from the top of the box.The strike finds itself in the mystical in-between—somehow high and inside enough to beat out the keeper, who was cheating to the exact corner it landed in. Not to mention the fact that it dipped at just the right speed. It's beautiful.But more impressive, perhaps, is Hendrick's first touch on the ball to pull it down. Raising a leg straight forward to deaden a long pass perfectly. It's almost as if it hooks to his foot and lands right in his preferred sweet spot.Just take a look from another angle:
A masterclass in subtle touch.
