5 Premier League Goal of the Season contenders so far

3. Jack Grealish – Aston Villa vs. Manchester United, 1st December 2019

Jack Grealish caught Manchester United cold with this phenomenal strike

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has earned plenty of plaudits for his performances thus far in 2019-20, and it’s been with good reason. The flashy midfielder has taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water, scoring 6 goals and registering 5 assists, while also practically carrying the Villains through many of their games.

His best moment thus far? The goal he scored against Manchester United to put Villa into a 0-1 lead at Old Trafford. Receiving the ball on the far left side of the penalty box following an overhit cross from Anwar El Ghazi, Grealish weaved past a static Andreas Pereira before whipping a right-footed shot into the top right hand corner, catching David De Gea completely unaware with some amazing curl on the ball.

To leave a goalkeeper the calibre of Spain’s #1 standing in shock takes some serious skill and nerve, and that’s exactly what Grealish displayed here, showing exactly why he’s both tipped for a maiden England call-up later in the season – and if Villa are relegated, a big-money move to one of the Premier League’s giants too.
