The year 2013 was an such an amazing year in the Premier League.
Jack Wilshere, David Luiz, Van perse....
They are just a few of the elite
stars that stun us with their prowess at goal with class every week.
However, football is a global sport and players that may never get the
chance of mixing it with the best in the world are still capable of
producing a wonder strike.
1. Jack Wilshere - Arsenal vs Norwich City
This is simply one of the best team goals ever. Santi Cazorla to
Wilshere to Cazorla to Olivier Giroud to Wilshere to Giroud to Wilshere.
Six touches, six passes executed with such casual skill and excellence
in such a small space with each being more important and more brilliant
than the one before. All of this was done in one fluent piece of play
that any team in the world would struggle to contain.
2. David Luiz - Chelsea vs Fulham
His defensive qualities may come into question, but Luiz is most
certainly a threat going forward, even if it can get his side into
danger. However, the only thing in danger here was the net.
The
Brazilian's rocket from 30-yards out swerved into Mark Schwarzer's top
corner. The Australian 'keeper was presumably so shocked that he left
for Chelsea in the summer to ensure that he would never face Luiz again.
3. Robin van Persie - Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Everything about this goal is incredible. As Shinji Kagawa spread the
play out wide towards Wayne Rooney, he sensationally floated the ball
50-yards into the path of the deadly van Persie.
Running
at full pace with the ball coming over his shoulder, the Dutchman
managed to volley the ball past Brad Guzan in the Villa goal with his
deadly left boot.
4. Luis Suarez - Liverpool vs Norwich City
Is he the best player in the Premier League? Is he at the same level
of Messi and Ronaldo? Does John Ruddy have nightmares of facing Suarez
every night?
This goal puts up a good case for the
answer to all of those questions being yes. As the ball came over his
shoulder, the Norwich defenders made the mistake of not closing down the
Uruguayan and boy did he make them pay.
5. Gareth Bale - Tottenham vs West Ham United
Sometimes the term 'assist' is a bit generous. A Paul Scholes cross
fielder is statistically equal to Tom Carroll's pass. Not taking
anything away from the quality of Tom Carroll, but his 'assist' is about
as kind as it gets.
As soon as Bale pushed it a yard
to his left, he pulls his leg back and his effort flies past Jussi
Jaaskelainen into the top corner. The Finnish goalkeeper had absolutely
no chance.
