It’s Only July but There’s Already a Contender for Goal of the Season

Take a bow, Marcel Ndjeng.

Call off the search, we've found our first contender for goal of the season.

Bolton Wanderers travelled to Austria for a pre-season friendly with German minnows Paderborn, who were relegated from the Bundesliga last season. It doesn't sound like much of a fixture, which is why we're even more shocked it gave us something truly memorable.

Paderborn midfielder Marcel Ndjeng scored a sensational long-range volley from the edge of the centre circle, with the ball flying over the outstretched arms of Bolton's goalkeeper and under the crossbar.

Even though this was scored in pre-season, we can include it in our end-of-season awards, right?
