Top 10 Premier League overhead kicks of all-time- ranked: From Wayne Rooney's derby stunner to Alejandro Garnacho's 'goal of a lifetime' against Everton

West Ham supporters never really saw the best of Sebastien Haller, who arrived at the London Stadium from Eintracht Frankfurt in a club-record £45 million ($57m) deal back in July 2019. A modest return of 14 goals from 54 appearances highlights the fact that the Borussia Dortmund striker wasn't settled in England, but one of those efforts still ranks among the best of his entire career.

It came when Crystal Palace visited West Ham in December 2021, as David Moyes' side found themselves in dire need of inspiration after falling behind to a first-half header from Christian Benteke. Haller provided it as he swivelled in mid-air to meet a Vladimir Coufal cross from the right wing, with his powerful effort nestling perfectly into the top corner.

Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita could only watch on helplessly as it flew past him, and it earned West Ham a valuable point in their pursuit of European qualification. Moyes described Haller's strike as a "wondergoal", which was more than fitting, and served as a reminder of his superb natural instincts in the box.

Gary Cahill is best remembered as a quick, reliable defender who rose to the top because of his impressive ability to the read the game. But the former Chelsea and Bolton star also had an eye for goal. He bagged 28 Premier League goals in total, including a sublime bicycle kick to open his account when he was on the books of Aston Villa.

Villa hosted Birmingham City in April 2006 with both sides struggling at the wrong end of the table, and Villa ended up taking the spoils with a 3-1 victory, as Cahill grabbed their all-important second goal after an incredible leap.

The ball was headed in his direction after an ugly goalmouth scramble, but Cahill's finish was a thing of beauty as he rose to turn home an unstoppable first-time volley. It was a piece of athleticism that no one knew he had in his locker at the time, but it set the tone for him to go on and become a genuine goalscoring centre-half.

When most football fans hear the name Rory Delap, they think of Stoke City's throw-in specialist who successfully riled up legendary Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger on multiple occasions. But the Ireland midfielder was also very capable of conjuring up something spectacular.

Delap delivered his career-best strike for Southampton against Tottenham at St Mary's in March 2004, after going exactly two years without a goal. No one expected to see Delap running into the box to try and latch on a loose ball, but that's exactly what he did, and he had the speed of thought to adjust his body for a bicycle kick after realising it was dropping behind him.

Delap couldn't have hoped for a cleaner connection as his shot then rocketed past Kasey Keller in the Spurs net. It proved to be the difference between the two sides and ensured that Delap will always have a special place in the hearts of Saints' supporters.

Andy Carroll was once considered to be the brightest talent in English football. The Newcastle academy graduate was unplayable on his day, a big brute of a centre-forward who caused nightmares for defenders in the air, but injuries prevented him from reaching his full potential.

After a failed spell at Liverpool, Carroll joined West Ham on a permanent deal in 2013, and went on to score a respectable 34 goals for the club. His standout effort came in a 3-0 home win against Crystal Palace in January 2017, which to this day probably remains the best goal ever scored at the London Stadium.

Michail Antonio stood up a cross for Carroll to meet at the back post and he turned his body perfectly to execute an acrobatic overhead kick, which was barely visible as it flashed into the net. The crowd was left stunned, but it came as no surprise to then-West Ham boss Slaven Billic, who said after the game: "He does it in training, although he is normally hitting the post! I am afraid he will get injured when he does it in training."

Like Carroll, Christian Benteke must also be considered a Liverpool flop. The Belgian only managed to score 10 goals in his debut season at Anfield after signing from Aston Villa for £33m ($42m) in July 2015, and was promptly sold to Crystal Palace.

It was clear why Liverpool had initially targeted Benteke after his fifth Premier League outing for the club, though, as he scored one of the all-time great consolation goals in a 3-1 away defeat to Manchester United. When a deflected cross looped Benteke's way six minutes from the time, he somehow managed to steer the ball past United No.1 David de Gea with a sweet shot that was destined to go in the moment it left his foot.

In truth, Benteke was unlucky not to be rewarded with the Goal of the Season award, but the final result at Old Trafford ended up counting against the powerful frontman, who now plies his trade in MLS with D.C. United.

Manchester United housed a number of elite strikers during the glorious Sir Alex Ferguson era, but none were more gifted than Dimitar Berbatov, who had an unrivalled first touch and the capability to score all kinds of goals. The Bulgarian unleashed his full power in an early season encounter with Liverpool in 2010-11, netting a brilliant hat-trick to give United an invaluable 3-2 victory.

His second goal is the one that has stood the test of time, after he had the awareness and audacity to control a Nani cross with his knee next to the penalty spot. The ball sat up nicely for Berbatov to jump backwards and pedal the ball into the net in one fluid motion, with a bit of help from the crossbar, sparking scenes of euphoria at Old Trafford.

Most players would never have even thought of attempting an overhead kick in that position, but Berbatov was unique. He also silenced his critics with the performance after a mixed first season at United, with Ferguson stating simply after the final whistle: "There has never been any doubt about the quality of the man."

Emre Can cut short his four-year stay at Liverpool in 2018 after failing to reach an agreement with the club over a contract extension, and went on to join Italian giants Juventus. The German was a consistent performer at Anfield from the final months of Brendan Rodgers' reign to the rollercoaster start to Jurgen Klopp's tenure, and may now regret his decision not to stick around longer given how many trophies Liverpool have won since his exit.

Still, Can is remembered fondly by most Liverpool fans, not least for his special goal against Watford in May 2017. The all-action midfielder gave Klopp's side a 1-0 win at Vicarage Road after running onto a Lucas Leiva through ball and somehow adjusting his body to smash a bicycle kick in at Heurelho Gomes' backpost.

"That is the best goal I've ever scored," Can said when explaining his goal in front of the media. "I saw the space and I ran behind and my first thought was I wanted to head it, then I didn't think too much."

Wayne Rooney scored 253 goals during his time at Manchester United, a club record, and many of them fell into world-class bracket. The former England forward was a peerless technician with a thunderous right foot and a ferocious competitive spirit, which he always brought out in derby matches against Manchester City.

In one such encounter at Old Trafford in February 2011, the two teams were locked at 1-1 with only 12 minutes remaining, and Rooney stepped up to sink United's noisy neighbours in breathtaking style. Nani put in a deflected cross from the right that seemed to be inching away from Rooney at first, but he shifted his weight brilliantly to re-direct the ball towards goal, and City shot-stopper Joe Hart barely had a split second to react.

It was a quite magnificent effort, one that Ferguson later called the best goal he had ever seen at Old Trafford, and proved to the be the decisive moment in the title race that season as United went on to claim their 12th Premier League crown.

In the early weeks of the 2007-08 season, Fulham and Tottenham played out an all-time classic at Craven Cottage. The hosts twice came from behind before Gareth Bale slotted home Spurs' third goal of the game just after the hour mark, which looked like being the winner for some time.

That is until Diomansy Kamara popped up in the 90th minute with an outrageous overhead kick from as far back as the edge of the area. Spurs thought they had headed the ball clear, but the Senegalese striker somehow hooked a shot back towards Paul Robinson's goal that completely caught out the former England 'keeper.

Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez said after the match: "It's like a James Bond film where you think, why doesn't the villain kill him and then eventually he comes back to bite them." Kamara had certainly earned a license to kill after breaking Spurs' hearts with such a memorable strike.

United have been starved of success in recent years, with a power shift in Manchester now complete courtesy of Pep Guardiola's revolution at the Etihad Stadium. It may be a while before they start bridging the gap, too, but there is one reason for some optimism, and his name is Alejandro Garnacho.

The 19-year-old has already made 53 appearances for United and has 12 goal contributions to his name, which is a more than respectable total considering he has yet to nail down a regular spot in Erik ten Hag's starting XI. It's getting harder for the Dutchman to leave him out, though, especially after his unbelievable goal against Everton on Sunday.

Garnacho opened the scoring at Goodison Park after retreating to get on the end of an overhit Diogo Dalot cross on the far left side of the penalty area. The Argentine took off and swung his left foot to help balance himself before connecting on the money-maker with his right, and the ball nestled into the opposite corner of the net despite a full length dive from Jordan Pickford.

“He can’t believe it, Garnacho. I can’t believe it," United legend Gary Neville said while while on commentary duty for Sky Sports. "I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium to see an overhead kick as good as that - and I was there for Rooney’s in the Manchester derby. That was unbelievable. A magical, magical goal.”

United went on to win the game 3-0, with Garnacho picking up the Man of the Match award for his decisive contribution. Ten Hag backed the teenager to win Goal of the Season in his post-match press conference, but it was his opposite number Sean Dyche who summed it up best.

"Goal of a lifetime," said the Everton boss. It's certainly safe to say that Garnacho will probably never score a better one.
