Top 10 Villa Goals this Century

[Dave P]

I was asked by a mate of mine to compile a list of our top 10 goals since 2000 in terms of not just quality but significance too. It was for the Birmingham World website. It was harder then I thought it would be. You can find it here https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/top-ten-aston-villa-goals-this-century-3505811.

Do you agree? Any I’ve missed out?

[Meanwood Villa]

Bit heavy on the promotion season perhaps.

Few candidates:

Delph, Young and Trez winners in our other semi final successes this century.
Young at Goodison in injury time.
Weimann at Anfield (after Benteke backheel)
Gabby winners at the Agbonlahor end at the Sty.

The obvious ones are missing

Grealish at Bloooose

The two play off final goals

Tammy pen at Albion

hutton v blooose

[Des Little]

Grealish at Rotherham has to feature surely?

[dcdavecollett]

Yes, that was a wonderful team goal, along with Grealish's superb skill. Great reverse ball from Elmo, too.

[Risso]

A mention for El Ghazi's goal against Everton, first season back. Not because it was especially brilliant, but it capped our first win, and Villa Park erupted in a way I hadn't heard for a very, very long time. The atmosphere at the end was a bit special.

Grealish at Rotherham has to feature surely?

This.

[Dick Edwards]

An additional contender, Grealish's late winner at home to Wigan when Bruce was our manager.

Got to say that his volley against Derby following the corner kick cross to the edge of the box was a world class execution of abiity.

[Dave P]

Grealish at Rotherham has to feature surely?

It did in my list

[RamboandBruno]

In no particular order and with my memory being blurry

Grealish last minute vrs Cardiff
Grealish vrs Derby
Grealish vrs Rotherham away
Grealish vrs blues away (not a great goal but after being lamped it was poetic)
Hutton vrs blues
Hourihane vrs Blues
Hourihane vrs WBA (play off semi 1st leg)
Lowton vrs Stoke
Mcginn crs Sheff Wed
Merson vrs Cov.
Merson vrs Everton away
Cahill vrs Blues

Loads from the mid 2000s and the MON years i just cant remember now sadly

[Exeter 77]

There should be one Thomas Hitztlsperger's long range strikes in one of these lists. Maybe the one at Portsmouth.

[Meanwood Villa]

There should be one Thomas Hitztlsperger's long range strikes in one of these lists. Maybe the one at Portsmouth.

His goal against Blues was a great strike but overshadowed by us chucking away the lead.

Late winner at Bolton was a classic.

[Beard82]

Petrov v Derby?

Grealish v Rotherham is my favourite - but not sure why
