Nah, Weah's, Maradona's, and Hoskins' were all better. Good goal though.

It might be the greatest goal scored in August 2020. Perhaps.

No, it wasn't. That award goes to Ashley Hoskin's goal at Swansea in 1986-87.

No chance. Messi and Ronaldo between them must have scored at least 20 better solo goals between them. He fell over and got lucky...

Sky will tell you its Ryan Giggs goal against Arsenal in the cup, that's the tired old drum they've been beating for years.

It just didn't fit into that season at all did it? And they talk about Son Heung-min's goal against us this season.

Ace choices here...Great 'length of the field' dribbles. A lot of donkey defending it has to be said. But could anyone else in the game have done what Messi did there? He defied gravity and he bent space-time!

Spot on Tony that season was one of the worst ever and that goal was fantastic when you look at that mud pitch

Don't tell him though - he's lived on that goal for 33 years now

Messi has probably scored 50 better goals than the one against Napoli

Can't believe Tommy Cummings' goal hasn't been mentioned. He didn't just score a length of the field goal, he had to win the ball himself - it wasn't played for him to run on to - and he started from his own penalty area.

Average goal imo bobbled and ricocheted about 5 times and fell perfect for him.
