da luck: With 98 top flight strikes and counting, this season has been all about goals for Manchester City – to the extent that they could set a new record for the amount scored in a single Premier League campaign before the term comes to a close next month.
da esoccer bet: 13 different players have scored for City in the top flight this term, more than half of which have netted on at least five occasions. But amid such a potent campaign, which strike stands out as City’s greatest goal of 2017/18? Here’s the goals that impressed some of the biggest experts on all things City the most…
Ric Turner – Bluemoon
“There have been some superb individual goals, and some even better team efforts. For sentimental reasons though, I’ll go for Sergio Aguero’s goal away at Napoli, that saw him become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer. A typically accomplished finish from a master marksman.”
Joe Hulbert – City Watch
“There were so many, but my favourite goal was scored by Gabriel Jesus in the 3-1 win over Everton at the end of March. Every pass was weighted perfectly in what was a delightful and perfect counter attack, and Jesus remained poised in the penalty area to score a header. It felt like such a good goal because counter attacks have been a rarity, as most people don’t try and attack City.”
Chris McMullan – Football FanCast
“Leroy Sane’s goal against Arsenal at the Emirates. There are almost too many goals to remember this season, and if you showed me a selection of others I’d probably change my mind again! But I distinctly remember that my reaction when Sane finished off the perfect team move that day. I didn’t cheer or anything you might normally do when a goal goes in. I just laughed. It was ridiculously good.”
Stephen Tudor – The Daisy Cutter
“Kevin De Bruyne’s creative vision brought two goals against Stoke that were tantamount to art but City’s third in their 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates summed up this team perfectly. The move broke down after countless passes so they simply started again without any fuss and lulled Arsenal back into losing their shape. A gap appeared and suddenly the tippy-tappy passing changed to a lethal counter. They went from being a kitten to a lion in a heartbeat.”
