Wow. Crouch.

I didn't see it live, but shouldn't Joe Hart be a bit embarrassed? It looked to be in slow motion.

Naw Sky had a good replay from behind the goal - almost exactly what Hart would have seen - and that was a cracking shot. Came in like a rocket.

I must have watched this loop over 100 times now. Fucking class!!!

Yeah, goal of the season.

I haven't watched the full clip but supposedly the ball is kicked out by the keeper. Pennant cushions a header down to Crouch, who was tall enough to control it with the inside of his foot and then wrap himself around to shoot from 29 metres. It didn't touch the ground after being kicked from Begovic and ending up behind Hart.

Vucinic hits a cracker in the 96th minute vs. milan

Yeah the Crouch goal is exactly that. Fantastic

Poor quality video but the first Cisse goal against Liverpool today was truly clinical. Underrated probably.

It was a nice header but best goals 2012?

Raul's second goal against Athletic was lovely (about 40 seconds in the clip)

Yep I think that's gonna nick it from Crouchy at the end of the year. Brilliant skill.

I'm showing pathetic bias, but I agree. Still, there's something so poetic about the importance of the Crouch goal. That isn't to say Ben Arfa's goal didn't come at a critical time because it did...

I'd go so far as to say there aren't two more in-form footballers in the world (outside of Messi) than Papiss Cisse and Ben Arfa.

Better than crouch's?

GIF if video get taken down ..

Every bit as good, my lord. Fucking insane.

Jesus that was ridiculous.

Crouch's should still win it. It was an amazing movement from goalkeeper to goalkeeper, didn't touch the ground for the length of the pitch.

But if there was a trophy for second place; Cisse would have two of them.

He really does score when he wants.

I like Shola trotting off to get ready for the inevitable goal kick, and then he suddenly realises.

His first goal was quality too. Two better goals by a player in a game?!
