da bet7： The English top-flight has been littered with special strikes over the course of the campaign – but which one stands out above all the rest?
da spicy bet： As Manchester City's title party continues, it's time to look back on a season that has spoiled fans across the country with heart-stopping moments, high drama and controversy right from the very start. If there were still any lingering doubts over the Premier League's status as the best division in Europe, they have been erased emphatically over the past 12 months.
The trophy is heading back to the Etihad Stadium for a third successive season, which is a just reward for English football's top scorers. Arsenal put up a great challenge, but City have shown they remain a class above with their form down the finishing stretch.
Elsewhere, we've seen Manchester United regain their lost spark under Erik ten Hag, while Newcastle have successfully broken up the monopoly of the traditional top six. Their rise has coincided with a dramatic decline from Chelsea, who will finish behind surprise packages Brighton, Aston Villa and Brentford.
At the bottom of the table, Southampton are destined to fall into the Championship after an 11-year stay in the top flight. Leeds, Everton and Leicester have also disappointed, but all 20 teams have played their part in a 2022-23 campaign that will live long in the memory – mainly because of the quality of the goals on show.
A large portion have been scored by City's record-smashing frontman Erling Haaland, while his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne and Tottenham's Son Heung-min have been among the usual suspects when it comes to crashing home spectacular long-range efforts. But there have been plenty from unlikely sources, too.
GOAL has ranked the 21 finest goals scored this season below. Sit back, relax, and enjoy…
21Jacob Murphy (Newcastle vs Everton)
First up is probably the easiest goal Jacob Murphy will ever score in his career. The winger's simple finish to wrap up a thumping 4-1 win for Newcastle was unremarkable, but Alexander Isak's assist deserves recognition.
The Swede picked up the ball on the halfway line before sprinting all the way down the left flank and facing up three Everton defenders. He then showed off dazzling footwork to turn them inside out while somehow keeping the ball in play, and had the awareness to cap it all off with a poked pass to the back post where Murphy was waiting.
Every Newcastle player ran to Isak to celebrate, highlighting just how special his run was. We haven't stopped replaying it since.
Advertisement20Kevin De Bruyne (Man City vs Brighton)
City's latest title charge got off to a slow start as they struggled to find their rhythm, and Brighton provided another stern test when they arrived at the Etihad in October. An Erling Haaland brace put the hosts in command, but Leandro Trossard brought the Seagulls back into it early in the second half.
Pep Guardiola's side needed a moment of inspiration to close out the game, and De Bruyne duly obliged. Bernardo Silva was the architect as he glided through to the edge of the box before pulling the ball back for the Belgian, who then took a perfect first touch to set himself for a shot.
De Bruyne's curling effort flew past Robert Sanchez, despite the Brighton keeper being at full stretch. The way City's midfield maestro is able to put so much pace on the ball with his instep while still controlling the direction of his shots continues to defy logic. Sensational.
19Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool vs Bournemouth)
After their superhuman push for a quadruple in 2021-22, Liverpool suffered a serious hangover at the start of their latest campaign. Jurgen Klopp's men drew their opening two games before losing to arch-rivals Manchester United, and had no margin for error left when welcoming Bournemouth to Anfield.
The Reds stopped the rot with a devastating attacking display that saw them storm to a 9-0 win – equalling the biggest-ever margin of victory in Premier League history. Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott were among those to score impressive goals, but the pick of the bunch came from Trent Alexander Arnold.
The right-back played a neat one-two with Roberto Firmino that opened up space for him some 25 yards from goal, and he let fly. Alexander-Arnold is known for his clean ball striking, and this was right up there with his very best as his shot rocketed past a helpless Mark Travers in the blink of an eye.
18Erling Haaland (Man City vs Southampton)
Haaland has set unprecedented new standards of excellence in his first season of Premier League football. The former Borussia Dortmund man has proven himself as a master poacher with a staggering return of 36 goals from 35 appearances.
He made many of those goals look easy by getting himself in the right place to apply the finishing touch, but he also has something spectacular in his locker. Haaland lit up City's 4-1 thrashing of Southampton with another brace, and executed a brilliant bicycle kick for his second.
Jack Grealish teed up the Norwegian, who had enough time to take the ball down before shooting. But he couldn't resist an acrobatic attempt that caught Gavin Bazunu off guard in the Southampton net. This is Haaland's world, and we're all just living in it.
