Because everyone loves a goal from the midfield…
If you missed David Villa’s 53.5 yard golazo on Friday, where have you been!?
For those living under a rock over the last few days, here it is again to whet your appetites for our list of ten more long range screamers…
Now, without any further ado…
David Beckham v Wimbledon
A classic of the genre… a goal which launched the career of future PSG, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy midfielder, David Beckham.
Memphis Depay v Toulouse
A recent one from earlier this year… watch Memphis Depay net from the halfway line in Ligue 1.
Dejan Stankovic v Schalke
A goal you could never get tired of watching… a UEFA Champions League classic from Inter’s Dejan Stankovic.
Charlie Adam v Chelsea
From way back! This one by Charlie Adam for Stoke City against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was easily inside his own half.
Saber Khalifa v Nice
Travelling now to France, we remember this incredible strike from Saber Khalifa for Evian against Nice in 2013…
Wayne Rooney v West Ham
Maybe the most similar to David’s strike against Philly, this volley from Wayne Rooney which bamboozled West Ham ‘keeper Adrian. Who did it best?
Jone Samuelsen v Tromso
Perhaps a world record for longest-range headed goal? This one from the Norwegian league by Odd Grenland will take some beating.
Xabi Alonso v Newcastle
This guy has a penchant for a long range goal… Xabi Alonso scored a couple of these for Liverpool but this was probably the best versus Newcastle in 2006.
Daniel Luduena v Tigres
This goal from Daniel Ludeuna was shortlisted for the FIFA Puskas Award in 2013.
David Villa v Deportivo
We’ll finish with another one from our boy – just proving that his goal against Philly was no fluke, David did this for Valencia earlier on in his career.
Any we missed?
Apparently so!
How could we!? Let's put this right...
Carli Lloyd v Japan
Send any more we've missed in on Twitter and let's see what David can produce on Sunday when Orlando City come to town! Tickets are available via the link below...
