After the 2018-19 Premier League ended, the organizing committee announced 10 nominations for the "Best Goal of the Season" award. Notably, there are the masterpieces of Eden Hazard (Ch Chelsea), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) or Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Jean Michael Seri and Andre Schuerrle (Fulham); Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Fabian Schar (New Newcastle); Anthony knockaert (Brighton)...
However, the person awarded the award was Crystal Palace midfielder Andros Townsend.
The English winger won with a super goal against Man City in December last year. In that situation, after Man City defenders cleared the ball from a free kick, Andros Townsend from the second line rushed up to make a live volley from about 30m away.
The decisive kick sent the ball straight into the top corner, completely defeating goalkeeper Ederson's efforts.
Thanks to Townsend's beautiful super goal, Crystal Palace created a big shock when defeating Man City with a score of 3-2. This is one of the 4 small losses of Pep Guardiola's team in the Premier League last season.
Notably, Townsend's goal was honored by the Premier League Organizing Committee as the most beautiful goal of December 2018. Last season, Townsend scored 9 goals and 6 assists after 38 matches in the Premier League.
On social media, Chelsea fans expressed some regret that Hazard's solo goal in the match against West Ham was not honored.
In addition, Vincent Kompany also missed out on his final Premier League trophy with a great shot into Leicester. This was one of the important goals that brought Man City the championship. A few days ago, the Belgian star said goodbye to Etihad Stadium.
The award for the most beautiful goal of the season was born in 2016-2017. It was selected from the 10 most beautiful goals in the 10 months of the season. The final result was a summary of online fan votes (accounting for 10% of the total score) and the assessment of the professional panel.
