TOP 5 GOALS EP 3

This weeks edition of goals of the week

This week’s post features 5 absolute belters. The post seeks to show love to raw power and pure ball-striking. There aren’t better sights in football than seeing the ball hit the back of the net from a distant shot.

1. ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER VS FULHAM

This goal by Mac Allister is an absolute peach. That particular game was full of bangers, but this goal for me was miles better. From about 30 yards out, Alexis got the ball from a deflected Fulham clearance. The ball bounced thrice before he sent it to the top right corner.

2. FEDERICO VALVERDE VS REAL MADRID

Long-range goals have become Fede’s trademark finishes. This goal against Sevilla is just one of the many ridiculous goals in his catalogue. Real Madrid played a short corner and got the ball to Valverde. He took a touch to set himself up for a thunderous strike.

3. GARETH BALE VS WESTHAM UNITED

Gareth Bale during his first stint at Tottenham was seemingly unstoppable, and this goal is enough proof of his inevitability. He had a wand of a left foot, with immaculate ball striking and the power to match. This strike against the Hammers is as beautiful as they come.

4. LUIS SUAREZ VS NORWICH CITY

Luis Suarez is an exceptional goal scorer, and his performance against the Canaries exemplifies this. He hit the ball on the bounce from a distance and looped it over the Norwich goalkeeper. The precision and timing of his strike left fans in awe, further solidifying his reputation as one of the best forwards of his generation.

5. RADJA NAINGGOLAN VS SPAL

Radja will go down as one of the most underrated ballers of the Italian league. He was immensely strong and could strike the ball with vim. This goal came from a cleared Cagliari free kick. The ball found its way to Nainggolan, who was waiting patiently for it to bounce just right. He struck the ball with so much power, leaving the SPAL goalkeeper helpless.

See you all for next week’s edition of goals.
