Matthew Lowton

[eamonn]

Murray called Lowton's "orgasmic". A word possibly not uttered on MOTD since the days of that smooth old motherfucker Des Lynam.

Any clip of Remy's goal. (Not sure what team he played for) LOL and Matt goal is awesome Goal of the season.

[eastie]

No question the Lowton goal was better than remys.

Once I'd watched it a few times on MOTD I decided to watch it over and over again from all the angles and just spot the crowd's reaction. Even some of the Stokies were applauding. The Villa fans' reactions as Benteke et al sure through on goal are also worth watching again. Everyone behind the goal waiting and willing him to score and then....BOOM! Cue wild celebrations.

hansen was sitting next to Lineker when he was just a mere pundit when they were both deciding which was the best goal of the day - dalian's against Wimbledon or Shearer's against someone when Blackburn put 7 (I think) past someone with Shearer lobbing the keeper. Hansen went for Shearer at which point Lineker nearly snotted himself laughing saying, 'Ha! He's changed his mind'.

Remy's hit was spectaluar. A brilliant goal and went past the keeper like a tracer bullet.  The reason Lowton's is better in terms of winning goal of the season is because there was so much more technically to his goal. The angle of the body, the controlled chest down, the players closing in on him, the height and angle of the ball, and then the superb finish from there from 30 yards. (If we win this will be come anything between 45 yards and miles).

Just seen Remy's on MOTD2. Wonderful strike, no doubting the quality of the finish. Brilliant.
But a better goal than Lowton's? No chance.
After the qpr game, in the best goal of the weekend exchange, kilbane said "apart from Lowton's", to which captain scarlet, in his defence, nodded sagely. Think his bit at the end was an attempt at being funny, insomuchas you say one, I'll say the other.
I'd have enjoyed a longer interview with rodgers, listening to him explain exactly how sturridge was "clearly onside" could've been comedy gold!

Remy's shot was a good finish but at the point arrived at his feet he only had the keeper to beat, how he did it was decent.

For Lowton's goal the ball wall was an age in the air with 2 stoke players he was aware of bearing down on him and the rest of the stoke players behind them and the keeper.

With us looking likely to go down 2-1 to stoke at that point and Lowton being a defender to even try it was audacious,  I cant even compare the 2 goals!

[Michel Sibble]

No question, van Lowton's goal is better, technically and especially from a defender.

[not3bad]

Love watching both goals but Lowton's is better because he's Villa.

[DrGonzo]

For a lad who has been an ever present in the league (every minute of every PL match) he still looks fresh. 

"The three points are fantastic but there is still a long way to go. There are a lot points still to play for. We can't leave it here, we have got to take it into the next few games. But the momentum is massive and confidence is sky high.  You can see that coming out of the manager in the changing room.  All the players are buzzing and we can't wait for the next game now."
 "The idea when I came was just to get in the team as quickly as I could but when I got picked first game I set my stall out to get picked every game and keep the shirt as long as I can.  To have played every minute up to now is fantastic but the main thing is the team stay in this division."
"It [the goal at Stoke] was nice. The one against Swansea earlier in the season was fantastic as well, obviously, but it has always been in the back of my mind that the keeper did me a favour diving out of the way.  It is nice that he went for it and it actually beat him this time.
I was concentrating on my first touch but as soon as it sat up like it did it needed hitting really, and luckily it flew into the back of the net."

Matt Lowton's goal was an amazing feeling .


 I was down after Stoke scored thinking not again Villa, how many times do we not kill teams off and then start jumping in to tackles and losing the ball  and look like 7 year old's. I thought 2 points dropped and we are going to feel the pressure again . My head did drop and I was moaning to myself 'damn you villa , why '

He hit it , I never saw the ball , then it was bouncing in the back of the net , laptop fell onto the floor and ran round the room like a mad wolf on heat .

it was an amazing feeling . What a time to score that .  I will remember that one for ever...

It was better than the Swansea goal.

No goalkeeper  in the world would have saved the Stoke one , a few goalkeepers probably would have saved the one against Swansea.

       wouldn't want you to miss that one Eastie   . Must have been amazing to be there .

Much better than the Swansea goal, I felt the keeper should have saved that one , although the ball moved in the air it went near enough in the middle of goal and the keeper misread it - the goal at stoke was much harder to save.
