60-65 yards and stunning precision.
Looks like some of the best ever Prem goals this weekend.

    I was going to start a thread before I saw this one, amazing goal and looked deliberate too.

    Apparently, Zamora got a goal in a million today for QPR at West Brom.
    Can't wait to see it.

    Think the keeper was stunned by how quickly it all happened.

    If there was such thing as a 'goal and a half', that is it! Definitely meant it.

    I'd guess a bit further than that. The pitch at Stamford Bridge is 112.6 yards. So the half-way line is 56.3 yards. And he looked to to have hit it close to being in line with the edge of the centre circle, meaning almost an extra 10 yards. I reckon that's all of 65 yards.

    (Although, if Sky is saying 59 METRES, then I would agree with that!)

    Not Bad . I scored at similar one for ST Margaret's Primary School , Plumstead , back in 1980...

    Yep, I've scored one like that too and from a harder angle, though the bastards on the opposition claimed it had gone the wrong side of the jumper.
    When we think back to those days I doubt we ever had a pitch of 112 yards with jumpers for goalposts - and if we did the opposition would say as you suggest or that it was over the bar.

    Reminiscent of Giggs at the Valley when he hit the bar. Recall Deano was also off his line.

    Just quoted what Jamie Redknapp said at half time. I thought it looked longer myself but in future will remember to get my imperial to metric conversion kit out of my pencil case and calculate the distance more accurately for you

    Remember that one.

    The crazy thing was that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keep running towards goal as if he knew it was going to come back off the crossbar.

    Great strike but a massive goal keeping error.

    Of the ones they showed on MOTD I think Figueroa's was the best. Flat, right in the top corner and keeper nowhere near it.

    That was nothing special. I once scored from the edge of my own area in a sunday league match, although I admit it was just a big booted clearance from a corner and was heavily assisted by a very gusty day. I tried to convince my team-mates that I meant it, but they were (rightly) having none of it.................

    Interesting article about the goal by Will Unwin from ITV Sport.
