Everything about this goal is made to look so easy: David Beckham’s deft pass to the edge of the area, Scholes’ absolutely thumping volley and the way Dwight Yorke moves out of the way as the shot fizzes past his right ear. It all looks so rehearsed.

Hard to believe this took place sixteen years ago against Bradford.
