It's not like he scores a bunch of tap-ins either, or improves his tally with a lot of penalties.
Shots from outside the box, curlers into the top corner, intelligent runs in behind that leave the defence looking thoroughly embarrassed, freekicks with both feet, dribbles inside the box... the most surprising thing for me is that his first touch is actually world class. The ball never slows down when he touches it.
He reminds me a bit of Henrik Larsson, and I can't think of much higher praise than that.
