Video- Wilshere’s goal against Norwich- 2013/14 MOTD Goal of the season
It was an absolutely fantastic goal from Jack Wilshire, 7 touches of the ball by the Arsenal in around 4 seconds. Simply stunning. Let’s hope Jack can do it in the World Cup.
Rooneys goal
Why is it that scoring from a long distance always puts you in contention for ‘goal of the season’.
There are only two goals worth being in this, the arsenal goal (amazing team goal) and the second one by fulham as the angle was so acute.
Luis Suarez.
Olly – Rooney’s goal was a) initially a foul and essentially b) terrible goal keeping.
He struck it well, mind.
Phil and John – impressive build up for the Arsenal goal but effectively, the move came down to luck. Wilshere’s final ‘pass’ into Giroud was undeniably unintentional.
Also, the context of the match and opposition have to be taken into account when considering a lovely passing move that leads to a goal.
With a volley, chip or long-distance strike it is generally the technique that is what makes it so appreciated.
Kasami’s is a great example of that.
So is Suarez’s swerved volley – a side angle of which shows just how much shape and balance there was to it. His hat-trick goal was arguably better; two “lollipops” and a side-on half-volley.
I personally have a cheeky preference for Sturridge’s chip. The perfect wedge.
And Shelvey’s because I love how both sublime and ridiculous he can be.
