Former English striker Michael Owen shared his thoughts on one of the most beautiful moments of the third round of the English Premier League – Dominic Soboslay's free kick. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, taking a shot from 30 meters is very serious. In such a situation, the defensive wall is more of an obstacle.
Owen emphasized that soon teams might stop placing a defensive wall when the ball is taken from such a long distance in front of the goal. He even said that Soboslay might not need to jump.
If he just takes a step to the side, the ball will be in his hands. Thus, the defensive wall in this case is only an obstacle.
This goal was the only one in the match between two leading Premier League teams, with Liverpool securing a narrow victory at home and handing Arsenal their first defeat of the new football season.
