Half-volley on the move. Time the run to arrive as it drops, set the body while moving, and strike it clean and low.

Volley it cleanly into the corner. Get your body over the ball, still head, and strike through it out of the air to keep it down and on target.

Find the corner first time. Meet the feed and place it into the marked corner in one touch, with accuracy over power.

Receive, open up and bend it far post. A set touch to open the body, then wrap the foot around the ball to curl it around the defender into the far top corner.

Get it away first time, fast. Time the run onto the lay-off and strike cleanly and quickly before the recovering defender can block it.

Strike it first-time before the block. Time the run onto the square ball and get a clean strike away into the corner before the defender closes.

Keep the rising ball down and find the top corner. Adjust to the awkward feed, get over it, and strike through it into the top corner.

Set the ball and drive it into the top corner from range. A positive touch out of the feet, then a firm, accurate strike away from the keeper.

Beat the screen and finish. Drive at the mannequin, take it round with one positive touch, and finish into the far corner past the keeper.

Bend it first time. Read the feed, open the body early and wrap the foot around the ball to curl it around the defender into the far top corner, all in one touch.

Strike it first time. Time the run onto the lay-off, plant the standing foot, and hit through the ball cleanly into the corner with no setting touch.
