Aston Villa's goal of the season 2010-11

[The Left Side]

Bent's vs Arsenal for me

[JUAN PABLO]

Albrighton vs Manure

Albrighton vs fulham for me.  Superb pass, excellent first touch and superb finish.  I also say it's better than most of the goals on the Motd goal of the season thing last night.

Edit:  I also think Bent's header agianst stoke should be in the poll, best header I've seen for a Villa goal for a long time.

The problem with MOTD's Goal Of The Month / Season is that it almost always focuses on goals that are little more than a swing of a foot and a ball flashing past the keeper. I don't consider those great goals as there is so much fortune involved. You only have to look at how many long-distance shots end up going high or wide and not looking particularly handsome.

One of Berbatov's goals for ManUre struck me as being a great goal because of the pace at which the team moved the ball and he followed it. I always have and always will consider football to be a team sport and find the focusing on individuals as somewhat dull.

I voted for Downing because he was getting left out!

[JJ-AV]

Albrighton at Fulham for me, that Bannan pass was immense.

I agree with this, I thought that Berbatov one should've got Goal of the season.

Not mentioned:

Ciaran Clark equaliser against Chelsea - not the eye-catching glory goal Sky/BBC/ESPN want to show on repeat, but with Villa staring defeat in the face, and the media/cockneys sure of victory, up comes Albrighton, swings in a beautiful cross for Clark to head in unopposed to silence the Stamford Bridge crowd.

Teamwork, technique and tenacity topped off with a simple header.

This goal, as easy as it was, gave us hope to survive in the Premier League and, more importantly, showed us the quality of our young squad and a glimpse of a future Villa - one who shows what can be done with a little belief.

What about Downing v Burnley in the League Cup?

[Dom]

And Heskey's late winner vs Wolves as well!

I second that definately, great header!!!!!

[dishy]

i want to vote for Hunt v Blackburn, or Pav v Bloooosers

probably the best goals of any season

Its crazy but i honestly cant remember Albrighton's vs Man Utd this season. If you asked me to describe any Villa goal from 1992-99 or so i could tell you about any of them in full detail. The last five years or so, while i remember a lot of the results and goalscorers, well i honestly cant remember how some of them went in - other than the obvious ones like Petrov at Derby, Ashley Young's at Blackburn 2007 and Gareth Barry vs Spurs 2006.

[Deano's Mullet]

ah yes i remember now. a lot of our "highlights" this season are in this clip showing how much value Albrighton's been to the team this season.

Does the first goal here count?

I was at the Lions Club awards on saturday night and each group had to guess the top 3 chosen by Ian Taylor (who was there) from a select list (pretty close to the one on here actually). Anyway, he chose Bent's first at Arsenal as the best, i think.

Some great crosses on there, thanks for posting
