good morning!
Do we have the goal of the season already?
This is just one question you’ll ask in today’s hoddle (The other is: Are we going to have to EFL Championship posts this week? The answer to that is YES).
Today’s comes from Mark Harris of Oxford United, who scored a potential goal-of-the-season contender already against Blackburn Rovers. Let’s take a look:
There’s a lot to like about this goal:
The hockey assist from the goalkeeper. Who doesn’t love to chuck it long?
The control from the Oxford United striker (?), who deftly controlled the ball with his chest.
And most importantly, that incredible volley from Harris.
And good on him too for seeing that the Blackburn keeper was well off his line. Even if he were, I am not sure he would have gotten it. What a sensational strike.
Oxford United would prefer you remember that goal instead of them losing that game 1-2.
