Beckham recieved a pass from Brian McClair, who could never have imagined that he was making a goal assist. Beckham does not touch the ball, but cleverly allows the ball to do the work, letting it run past him.
This gives him time to look up and assess his options. There is no immediate pass on, late in the game and already 2-0 up, no one made a forward run. Beckham spots Wimbledon keeper off his line and decides to shoot.
To hit the target from the halfway line(60 yards), he must strike a shot of sufficient power and precision to rise high and dip at the right time. To achieve this, Becks leans back and raise the ball and hits it through the front of his foot to gain power. The ball rises sharply, curls gently from left to right and floats at a height until it reaches the six yard box. Then it drops suddenly to leave Sullivan stranded.
