Michael Owen vs Argentina — 1998

Michael Owen's goal for England against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup group stage announced a teenage superstar to the world. At 18 years and 190 days, Owen received the ball on the right side of Argentina's half, accelerated past Jose Chamot and Roberto Ayala with devastating pace, and struck a precise low finish past Carlos Roa. It briefly put England 2–1 up. England lost on penalties, but Owen's goal remains England's greatest World Cup moment since 1966. He became the youngest player to score in a World Cup knockout round at the time.
