It's not just about stats, Vucinic and Matri connect very well together since Matri makes the runs of a classic poacher while Vucinic holds the ball and assists him. The other strikers we have don't do those things as well.

Last season, in a Man Utd game (might have been at Old Trafford against Bilbao) a Man Utd player lost his boot and the referee gave a freekick against him when he kicked the ball without his boot on.

Should Matri's goal have been disallowed?
No, I don't see why the referee should stop the play in such a situation.

That's the first thing I thought of when I realised his boot had come off.

I know, I also thought that the goal might have not counted.
But I haven't seen anywhere anyone mentioning this so i thought i was probably wrong.
Everyone just posts it and laughs w/t saying it shouldn't have counted.

Mad rule.
If that's the case then every players should master the way to knock opponents' boots to get freekicks.
