Top 10 Premier League Goals of All Time – Iconic Strikes You’ll Never Forget

From Beckham’s halfway-line snipe to Salah’s run through half the pitch, the Premier League has given us goals that never fade. They’re the moments you bring up in debates, send in group chats, and still get goosebumps watching years later. Some changed games, some changed seasons and all of them are unforgettable.

Here’s our pick of the 10 greatest goals the league has ever seen.

#10 – Matthew Le Tissier vs Newcastle (1993/94)

Le Tissier had a knack for making difficult things look routine. Against Newcastle in ’93, he controlled a loose ball, skipped past two defenders with quick touches, and calmly slotted it home. No rush, no panic just pure composure and skill.

#9 – Thierry Henry vs Manchester United (2000/01)

A flick, a turn, a finish all in one motion. Henry received the ball with his back to goal, lifted it over himself, spun, and volleyed past Barthez. It was instinctive, effortless, and impossible to defend.

#8 – Wayne Rooney vs Manchester City (2010/11)

In a tight Manchester derby, Nani’s cross hung in the air and Rooney improvised. An overhead kick, hit clean and true, that arrowed into the top corner. Even City fans had to admit it was special.

#7 – Alan Shearer vs Everton (2002/03)

The ball dropped, Shearer hit it first time, and it stayed hit. From 25 yards, his thunderous volley flew into the top corner, pure power and precision. A strike that summed up the Premier League’s all-time top scorer.

#6 – Mohamed Salah vs Manchester City (2021/22)

Salah twisted and turned past three defenders, then lashed the ball past Ederson from a tight angle. It was speed, balance, and sharp finishing at its best the kind of solo goal that lifts a stadium.

#5 – Tony Yeboah vs Liverpool (1995/96)

Yeboah was known for spectacular goals, and this was the pick. A quick control, a bounce, and then a volley that crashed in off the underside of the bar. Brutal power, perfect accuracy.

#4 – Dennis Bergkamp vs Newcastle (2001/02)

Bergkamp’s touch was so good it looked like sorcery. One flick around the defender, a spin the other way, and a calm finish. A goal that still makes highlight reels 20 years on.

#3 – Sergio Agüero vs QPR (2011/12)

Not the most technically outrageous goal, but maybe the most important in Premier League history. A burst into the box, a low finish, and Manchester City’s first title in 44 years all with seconds to spare.

#2 – David Beckham vs Wimbledon (1996/97)

From inside his own half, Beckham spotted the keeper off his line and went for it. The ball sailed, dipped, and dropped perfectly into the net. A goal that introduced him to the world.

#1 – Jack Wilshere vs Norwich (2013/14)

A blur of one-touch passes with Giroud, a dart into the box, and a cool finish. It was football at its most fluid a goal that felt like it belonged in a video game.
