On Friday we'll reveal which long-range strike finished top of the poll.
FABREGAS v TOTTENHAM (A) 15-09-2007
This one came back in September 2007 at a time when the then 20-year-old Cesc Fabregas was not really regarded as a goalscoring midfielder in the Premier League. Strikes like this soon changed that perception.
After Gareth Bale’s 15th-minute opener for Tottenham, Arsène Wenger’s men had to wait until just after the hour-mark for Emmanuel Adebayor to equalise. Then, with 10 minutes left on the clock, Arsenal took the lead.
Alexander Hleb started a counter-attack by finding Robin van Persie inside the Gunners’ half. The striker found Tomas Rosicky who in turn fed Fabregas 35 yards from goal.
The Spaniard took one touch and, with the Spurs back-four still backing off, he let fly. The searing right-foot effort flashed across Paul Robinson into his top right-hand corner.
It was a worthy match-winner.
