5. Jordan Henderson vs Leicester City The quality of this goal comes from the ability Raheem Sterling shows to stay onside against the offside trap and the awareness he demonstrates to know Jordan Henderson had followed up the initial pass. Henderson does a great job keeping his cool and blasts the ball past the depleted Leicester […]

5. Andrea Pirlo vs Torino The living legend graces us with this pearl of a first time strike from outside the box. It was laid on a plate for him, and he ate the chance up. The defense will be shaking their head, as they should have closed that down before he got the shot off. […]

This week’s Oh You Beauty has a decidedly international flavor about it, given the club break this week. The international break can sometimes be a bit of a snooze-fest for many watching, with many of the players more focused on not getting hurt than winning the game. That wasn’t the case this past week, though, […]

5. Demba Ba vs Istanbul Basaksehir Now, I’m not going to say this is the fastest or hardest hit goal ever scored. That was scored by Sporting Lisbon’s defender, Ronny, which reached speeds of 131 mph. Look it up, you can barely see it. That being said, this ball was moving at 77 mph, which would […]

The title says it all really. Aston Villa have been on a terrible run of form, culminating in the cancellation of their monthly Goal of the Month vote. Their last goal was scored against Liverpool in their 1-0 win at Anfield on the 13th of September. They would go on to lose to Arsenal, Chelsea, […]

5. Oscar vs QPR Your browser does not support iframes. This is simply the best angle to really appreciate how good this goal is. Not only is it an outside of the foot shot, but it had to loop around the keeper at an almost impossible angle. To do that first time is simply incredible. […]

The Merseyside Derby is one of the oldest, most hard-fought derbies in the EPL. It’s one of the incredibly interesting match ups every year because for those 180+ minutes every year, brothers and sisters, fathers, sons, daughters and mothers, best friends and coworkers become enemies in the city of Liverpool. It is one of the […]

1) Moritz Stoppelkamp vs Hannover 96 Wow. When a 50 yard goal is scored, such as the famous Xabi Alonso goal against Newcastle from a few years ago, people tend to remember that. This one is a solid 89 yards long. That kind of a goal doesn’t happen in FIFA. That’s a goal that will […]

1) Jeremy Menez vs. Parma https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CNRE1ClE13Y#t=10 This goal is just something special. Not only does Jeremy Menez beat the keeper like he wasn’t even there, he finishes the move off with a wonderful backheel. Cheeky. It’s a magnificent goal, through and through, and thoroughly deserving of this week’s top spot. 2) Alexis Sanchez vs. […]

1. Wayne Routledge vs. West Brom Routledge Goal What a hit, son. What a hit. ‘Nuff said. 2. Diego Costa vs. Everton, 89th min Costa Goal 89th Min It wasn’t just the backheel pass from John Obi Mikel that lands this goal so high, although it helps. It was Costa’s stuttered stepover that put […]
