10 best volleys in Premier League history a decade on from Peter Crouch's Stoke screamer
Stoke City 1-0 up against Manchester City at the Bet365 Stadium.Not the most obvious scorer of a goal like this, the 6'7 striker pulled off something out of this world with a looping volley over England’s then number one, Joe Hart from an absurd angle and distance, leaving the keeper helpless.High up in a long list of the Premier League’s greatest volleyed goals, it’s been a tough decision selecting the best, but here are our picks for the top 10 in the history of the division.The inspiration for the list, it could only start in one place.Did Crouch score the best volley in Premier League history? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionCrouch took one touch to set the ball before the second fired the looping volley a mile over Hart’s despairing dive, sending Tony Pulis giddy on the touchline. A goal that people believed to have just been a fluke were made to hold their tongue as Crouch stepped into the Soccer AM car park and produced some thunderous strikes to prove his sceptics wrong.Edging it over his volley vs Charlton Athletic back in 2006, title clinching goals don’t get much better than this.Van Persie was signed to win United title number 20 and that’s exactly what he did.
