Giovani Dos Santos Scores Amazing Goal v US

Published June 27, 2011 | By Rolly

Out of favour Tottenham striker Giovani Dos Santos once again proved his worth for Mexico after he helped his country overcome the United States 4-2 in the CONCAF Gold Cup final.

Trailing 2-0 after a poor start, Mexico rallied back with aplomb and a double strike by Pablo Barrera either side of by a goal by midfielder Jose Guardado put the Mexicans back in control at the at the Rose Bowl.

Dos Santos then sealed the result after he seized on a through ball before rounding Tim Howard, checking inside on his left foot and chipping the ball with amazing accuracy into the US net.

Incidentally, it was the third successive final between the pair with this clash proving the most exciting as El Tri bagged their sixth Gold Cup.

Giovani Dos Santos has always been a good player – I have always rated him, and remember for his last game at Barcelona, he scored a hat-trick.

He was sensational at the U17s in 2005 – given a chance, with the adequate team set-up, he can fly. His performances for Mexico always inspire and he played well at the World Cup too.

Apparently, his little brother Jonathan Dos Santos is even better tho!!!

I just don’t think he’s built for Premiership football, although he was mildly impressive for Ipswich last year.

Maybe he just hasn’t bought in to the ‘arry Redknap/ Spurs philosophy like Taarabat for example.
