Shauns was controlled though rather than leathered. And it was dropping to him from such a height. And most of all, he did it with his wrong foot. Bartletts was better.
I wouldn't like to choose between them but I agree with paulsturgess, Bartlett's technique was surely the hardest to pull off. Volleying a ball that's coming from behind you, especially one that's travelled that far... Give it a go!
Bartletts all day, the distance the ball travelled and to let it drop across your body is a skill to make contact let alone control the shot into the bottom corner. one of my top highlights of the Prem years along with di canio 'dinking' Lehman. Oh and HH (greedy nob) scoring first goal at 40-1 against chelsea.
On the very same day as Di Canio's famous goal, Scholes landed an almost identical golazo which was then confined to the cutting room floor in favour of Paolo's seemingly all because the Italian did that little jump before volleying.

Slightly confused, are we talking about the lucky shinner he got at the Valley after he should have been sent off or the one he scored as part of the Arsenal - 125 Years Old Aren't We Just The Bestest Team In The Whole Wide World w###fest over the weekend?
Actually, scrub that, Bartletts was better than either of them...
Why be so disrespectful to Arsenal? They are a great football club who have done things properly, far more than all the other successful English clubs over the last 70 years or so.

This, that day won me 200 odd quid. HH first scorer, us to win 4-2 and Holland to score. My best day as a Charlton fan (and I gave up betting after that, never gonna be that good again!)

Don't like to admit but Van Persies is a much better hit. VP's goal still defies me how it went in instead of going into row Z.
That it was but he still buried it.

He was found to have done wrong and Arsenal sacked him. So there you are. No one is bigger than the club.
Don't remember Clough getting sacked by Forest?
That was the deciding factor for me, Bartlett guided his into the goal.
