A host of stunning goals were scored in the Premier League this weekend
Last updated at
for Sunderland in their derby win over Newcastle joined a list of wonder goals scored in the Premier League over the weekend.
Together with 65-yard strike, lob, volley, acrobatic effort and thunderbolt, we could almost put together a list of goal of the season contenders in one week.
BBC Sport takes a look at the goals that were scored, asked which was the best and reports the reaction they all brought. Here are the results.
Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam spotted Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois off his line and from inside his own half, about 65 yards out, he struck the ball over the keeper's head and into the net
"Charlie Adam's goal is better than David Beckham's. Beckham was just outside his own half but Adam is outside the centre circle. It is about 65 yards and he has driven it like a wood over the goalkeeper."
"Charlie Adam's tried that nine or 10 times before but it has come off today. He's had an absolute stinker in this first half but that will go down as one of the best goals in Premier League history. I won't see many better in my lifetime. Absolutely unbelievable."
Stunning hit from Adam. An absolute worldy. QPR's Matt Phillips the only person who didn't jump up the minute it hit the net!!
What a day for amazing goals. Ozil, Zamora, Sanchez, Rooney and the best of the bunch, Charlie Adam.
Better than Beckham and Rooney. Goal of the season.
Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe watched the ball drop out the air before volleying with his weaker left foot into the roof of the net from 20 yards against Newcastle
"Defoe's goal was brilliant. It is the kind of goal that gets you off your seat and that he is capable of scoring."
"Defoe's goal is up there in the pantheon of the best he has scored. Put three goalkeepers in that goal and that is not getting saved."
Come on guys Defoe's goal has got to be up there with Tony Yeboah's goal for Leeds.
Defoe scoring the 4th best goal of the weekend and getting into the top 10 for the season simultaneously.
Great goal Defoe, but it is struggling to make top 3 this weekend. Been incredible really.
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney controlled the ball with a sublime first touch before swivelling and volleying past goalkeeper Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan
"You won't see a better goal this season than Wayne Rooney's for Manchester United. That is absolutely phenomenal. It was an awkward ball to bring down, but as it bounces Rooney swivels and fires the ball into the top corner. The ball is still very high but he gets right on top of the ball. What a fantastic goal."
: Absolute stonkers in the league this weekend. My pick Wazza's goal.
What a goal! Wayne Rooney. Goal of the day nomination now, all Arsenal four plus this one.
Rooney celebrating as if he was Cantona, after that goal if was only fair enough, great control and technique.
QPR's former Fulham striker Bobby Zamora lobbed West Brom goalkeeper Boaz Myhill with the outside of his left boot from the angle of the 18-yard box
"Bobby Zamora's strike is definitely up there for goal of the season. We spoke about Matty Phillips's goal at Crystal Palace but Zamora's is up there."
"Lovely goal from Bobby Zamora for QPR's third. Off the bar and everything. Even got a single clap from MOTD pundit Ruud Gullit."
Any goal from half-way looks good but isn't as technically impressive as the likes of Zamora's or Defoe's. Bobby wins it for me.
From a QPR fan, Zamora's goal yesterday has to be GOTS. Tight angle with a player on him with his outside left boot; magical.
Adam & Rooney both great goals yesterday but done before. Bobby Zamora's was the stand out goal, pure skill.
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez picked the ball up 25 yards out from goal before firing an unstoppable shot into the top corner against Liverpool
"That is a stunning, stunning goal and it is done at breakneck speed. He must have ABS brakes the way he turns inside Kolo Toure. The speed of his feet... he has hit it in a flash. That is as good a goal as you will see all season."
So many good goals this weekend. Adam, Defoe, Zamora, Rooney, Cambiasso, Vargas and all of the Arsenal goals.
Sanchez is better than Hazard. Brilliant goal.
Sanchezzzzzz what a screamer of a goallllll
Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis threw himself acrobatically into the air to powerfully volley home a loose ball against Hull City
"Here is a player who is taking complete advantage of the departure of Wilfried Bony to Manchester City and filling the void admirably. He took both his goals extremely well."
Best weekend for goals ever? Just need a Yannick Bolasie backheel volley from his own penalty area now.
Are all of April's goal of the month contenders going to be from this weekend? Wouldn't be surprised. This is insane!
Two awesome goals yesterday! Well done our Bafe.
