I understand the discussion about Lowton's goal v Benteke's but as a Goal of the Season, Benteke's against albion was better than both.

Still lowtons for me just shading weimanns at anfield.

Ooh forgot about Weimanns, Benteke's second was good as well.

The fourth at Norwich by Benteke had about 20 passes as well, it was of those where the 'ole's' didn't back fire

too many on here over thinkiing the goal of the season. whilst the team goals are all well and good, goal of the season needs to be a worldly, the sort of goal that you would struggle to replicate in a thousand attempts. When i think of goal of the season i think of le tissier, cantona, yeboah, crouch, etc.....Lowtons is good enough to be spoken about in the same breath. As good as the others being mentioned are, can you say any are of the others are up there?

If you're simply talking about the MOTD GOS competition, then it's Lowton's against Stoke.

However, if you're looking for optimism for our future with this team an manager, then some of the passing move/team goals this season have been excellent and show what we're building towards.

I don't know what you look like but Westwood doesn't look like Gregory there.

Such a subjective thing this isn't it. My all time favourite premier league goal was Van Persie's away at Charlton because it was a great counter attacking move finished with a super volley mid air on the run. So it had a bit of everything for me, except the Villa of course. Others probably think that goal was just ok, if they even remember it. It probably wasn't even that year's goal of the season

I agree it's totally subjective, for me Bergkamp vs Newcastle is the best goal ever scored in the premier league, it was a moment of pure inspiration from one of the best players of his generation, I can't think of another player who would've even attempted to flick the ball past his man like that, let alone pull it off.  I generally prefer the goals that are all about technique than the 30 yard screamers, so I normally prefer the 'team goals' (my favourite of all time is 'that' goal from brazil in 1970) but Lowton deserves every bit of praise he's getting because it's a technically perfect goal.
