Keep hearing this described as a wonder goal. Hmmmm.

Mike Riley would have disallowed it for a foul on the defender.

David Elleray would have brought play back for a free kick for obstruction by the defender.

Graham Poll would have sent Pires and the defender off for raising their arms against each other.

Some bookmakers in the Far East considered it money well spent that Schmeichel didn't raise his arms.

Uriah Rennie would have filed it away as yet another clearcut reason to send Shearer off at the first opportunity.

It's all in the eye of the beholder.
