4. Papiss Cisse (Chelsea 0-2 NUFC)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU9bjNvPCVg Where: Stamford Bridge Date: May 2012 It was a goal that defied the laws of physics. Cisses reverse-banana golazo had the entire Premier League talking about our new number nine and it was rightly crowned the Premier Leagues Goal of the Season for the 2011/12 campaign. Cisse flouted all geometric and gravitational principles when he swung a spontaneous right foot at Shola Ameobis knock-down deep into added on time. Speculative indeed but this was a striker in supreme confidence and on a prolific scoring run of 11 goals in as many games. Initially it looked as if Cisse had sliced the ball well wide with the outside of his foot only for it to arc gracefully over a scrambling Petr Cech and land in the bottom corner. Stamford Bridge fell silent. Alan Pardew was stupefied for a split second before realizing he should be celebrating a wonder goal. There was a lovely moment on the touchline between Pardew and a wide-eyed Didier Drogba on touchline after Cisses jaw-dropping rocket with the Chelsea striker in close proximity to the touchline. "I said 'come on Didier, you have to admire that' and he just laughed, Pardew revealed.
