Premier League goals of the week: Gameweek 23
By Tom Gott
One more week of Premier League action is in the books and, as always, it produced a whole lot of fun.
Antonio Conte's return to Tottenham was spoiled by a 4-1 thumping from Leicester, while Nathan Jones was given his marching orders by Southampton after their capitulation against ten-man Wolves.
And yet somehow, VAR still managed to steal the show.
In an attempt to distract ourselves from the decision-making carnage, here's a look at the best goals from gameweek 23.
1. Joao Felix vs West Ham
Two of Chelsea's most high-profile winter additions combined for this lovely goal against West Ham.
Enzo Fernandez's vision and creativity were both being flexed here as the ยฃ106m-man found Joao Felix's run, and the Atletico Madrid loanee could make no mistake.
2. Joao Gomes vs Southampton
If you're going to get Nathan Jones sacked, get him sacked with style like Joao Gomes did here.
Wolves' January addition hammered the final nail in Southampton's coffin with his guided finish into the top corner right at the death of the game to send Jones packing.
3. Nampalys Mendy vs Tottenham
Every goal Nampalys Mendy has been an absolute scorcher. That's a fact.
The Leicester man has made 329 appearances in senior football and now has a grand total of two goals to his name.
This goal against Tottenham came eight years after a proper corker against Bastia during his days with Nice. Well worth a watch.
4. Kelechi Iheanacho vs Tottenham
Kelechi Iheanacho's annual month-long Ballon d'Or push is back for 2023.
This goal is perfect because of its simplicity. He beats his man, turns the defender inside out, stops the ball to assess his options and then bends it into the bottom corner. They don't come much better.
Harvey Barnes probably deserves a shout for his goal as well, but don't you think Spurs fans have suffered enough?
5. Willian vs Nottingham Forest
Clearly with a point to prove in England, Willian has come back to the Premier League with an absolute vengeance.
His third goal for Fulham was this thunderbolt against Nottingham Forest, meaning Willian has now outscored two of his previous Premier League seasons and tied a third. He's only played 16 games this year.
6. Marcus Rashford vs Leeds
What can Marcus Rashford not do?
He's in outrageous form for Manchester United these days, maintaining his scoring streak with this header against Leeds United.
7. Mohamed Salah vs Everton
Just seconds after nearly going 1-0 down, Liverpool found themselves1-0 up against Everton.
The Reds went full Road Runner to roar down the other end of the Anfield turf, with Mohamed Salah's pace catching Jordan Pickford out as he tapped home with ease.
