Excellent shout. Remarkable goal.

Can’t believe that that didn’t win goal of the season. I’m guessing it was because it was at Burnley only a few hundred Albion fans actually saw it live.
What a great problem!! Perhaps we should spend more time debating the economy, global conflicts and Paella!

Not even close. Maupay’s overhead goal wasn’t too shabby, and nicely timed in a game we looked destined to lose, but he was 7 yards out and sort of leaned into it and lobbed it into the corner.
CMS was running away from goal and jumped athletically into the air - doing the full scissor action - to strike the ball cleanly from 12 yards low and hard into the corner.
Me Me - I was there! The away end was pretty empty, and it was a pretty tame game - and I have a feeling I was actually sitting down. Then that happened out of nowhere!
It was a remarkable HIT - probably only rivalled in recent years, by the Ince volley referred to earlier.
But the TECHNIQUE required to execute Mitoma's goal v Chelsea, Mitoma's run at Wolves, or the technical skills (and decision making) by multiple players to produce Izquierdo's goal at Stoke or Gros' goal at Old Trafford, far outstrip that one for me.
Ince's goal was really nice, I think I'd still have Skalak's some way ahead, personally. Perfectly timed, laser guided precision.
I also said it was the best goal I had seen in the flesh - i.e. I wasn't there for some of those.

My personal favourite is Dean Wilkins free kick v Ipswich at the Goldstone with about 60 seconds to go in a must win game.
The best goal I've seen since that was actually chalked off because someone was offside 45 yards away from the goalie was Alexis Mac Allister thunderbolt v Leicester at the Amex.
Honourable mention for Jimmy Cases free kick v Massive at Highbury.

Its a great hit.
However, perhaps the (disallowed) Mac Allister one -incidentally from almost the very same blade of Amex grass - is possibly an even BETTER hit!? It is hit even harder, and definitely better placed in the top corner. (1:50 here...)

Gordon Smith’s goal in the cup final lives with me forever. I was right near the back and as I saw him make contact my brain was processing at a million miles an hour.
“Bailey’s got this”
No, it went past him, so in the millisecond it took to cross the line, it seemed like an age.
“It’s going in, it’s going in!”
and he DID score, let’s not forget that.
The greatest goal I’ve ever witnessed. Well worth a fiver!

Ulloa's in the St. Patrick's Day Massacre was sublime. We toyed with them as they just watched us play beautiful football with an end product. Poyet's Albion, when not imploding, was absolutely revolutionary.
