Argentina’s attacking ace: Five clinical Carlos Tevez moments

Ferocious free-kick v Roma – March 2015

Juventus came up against Serie A title rivals Roma in a crucial clash at the Stadio Olimpico and, after just 14 minutes, terrific Tevez produced another moment of magic. The Italian top-flight forward sent a wonderfully whipped free-kick into the top left corner of a helpless Morgan De Sanctis’ net, which later earned the league leaders an away point.

Beating the drop v Manchester United – May 2007

Argentina’s astute international famously fired West Ham to Premier League survival on the final day of the 2006/07 campaign, sublimely slotting home a vital winner over Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils at Old Trafford. Tevez had sprung to life late that season and has since gone down in Hammers history for his individual efforts to secure the East London side’s top-flight status that term.

Sensational solo strike v Parma – November 2014

Juventus’ superb striker is known for scoring super solo efforts, and thanks to his raw pace and power, he was able to do exactly that in a 7-0 thrashing of Parma last year. Tevez picked the ball up deep in his own half, strongly brushing off the defensive tackles of several Serie A defenders, and coolly slotted home past a flat-footed goalkeeper. Without a doubt, one of the best goals of 2014!

World Cup wonder goal v Mexico – June 2010

In an eventual 3-1 triumph over Mexico, Argentina were sent on their way by a controversial early goal from their menacing marksman Tevez. The striker headed his native county in front from a Lionel Messi cross and, despite being in a clear offside position, the goal was awarded. Although, the prolific poacher later comprehensively secured progression to the World Cup quarter-finals for Diego Maradona’s men, thanks to a stunning second-half strike.

Double trouble v Middlesbrough – July 2009

After steering West Ham away from relegation, Tevez earned himself a switch to Old Trafford, where he relished playing alongside fellow world-class stars such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. The fiery frontman struck up a perfect partnership with rampant Rooney, linking up potently with his English teammate in what was an explosive double act. This extravagant effort against an unfortunate Middlesbrough displays the Argentine’s former clinical combination with the current England and United skipper.

This current campaign, the Red Devils are lacking a prolific finisher of Tevez’s quality, and are available at 11/4 to secure an FA Cup coup this year.
