In the video at the foot of this article there is a fantastic mash-up of the top ten goals in the top flight of English football this season. From Rafael’s scorcher at Loftus Road to Matthew Lowton’s thunderous volley at the Britannia. Enjoy.
10. Rafael v QPR
After receiving a clearance, Rafael belted the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box faster than an old maid trying to catch a bridal bouquet.
9. Robin Van Persie v Aston Villa
Wayne Rooney’s pass from his own half was smashed into the net from 30 yards by the left boot of RVP quicker than you can say ‘Champions’.
8. Cisse v Southampton
Route one football from Newcastle ended in Papiss Cisse scoring a blinder, making the crossbar do the Harlem shake in the process.
7. Hazard v Stoke
Silky footwork followed by a 30-yard left-footed drive into the top corner. Pretty much sums up this boys future.
6. Bale v West Ham
Silky footwork followed by a 30-yard left-footed drive into the top corner. Pretty much sums up this boys season.
5. Osman v Man City
A 30-yard left-footed drive minus the footwork from Osman. The winner v Manchester City to add to an England debut = a fine season.
4. Cleverley v Newcastle
Oh, come on it was a cross! Anyway, number four is Tom Cleverley’s strike against Newcastle.
3. Luiz v Fulham
Oh wow. That’s all I have to say. Genius from… the centre back? Let’s be honest, he’s definitely not that.
2. Jerome v Southampton
The scorer of great goals scored another great goal which became the highlight of his season, again.
1.Lowton v Stoke
An impressive first season for the right-back but this goal was what got him noticed. A bright future for Villa?
