Managers and coaches love to use the phrase 'box-to-box player' to describe a midfielder who is as good in his defensive duties as he is in the opponents' penalty area.

Lee Bowyer's winner at Derby not only demonstrated that phrase, but also why the Leeds midfielder is one of the highest-rated midfield players in the country.

He also gave a hint of what England might be missing in the Far East following the decision not to pick him for the World Cup for his off-field problems.

Gap

Bowyer displayed all the attributes that coaches look for in a top midfield player in scoring the goal voted BBC Sport Online's Goal of the Week.

Aggression, commitment, pace, awareness and coolness all came together in a goal that was deceptively simple in its construction and execution.

Bowyer showed his aggression and defensive qualities when he took advantage of Malcolm Christie's error of control to nick the ball off the Derby striker 20 yards inside Leeds' half.
