Miedema wins WSL Goal of the Season | OneFootball

Vivianne Miedema’s phenomenal finish in our 4-2 victory over Aston Villa in January has been awarded the Barclays Women’s Super League Goal of the Season.

The Netherlands international scooped the prize after collecting the most votes at the division’s annual awards evening on Sunday 11 May – coming out on top against a swathe of stunning strikes.

In the success over the Villans, City’s versatile forward collected the ball outside the area before creating space with a smart turn.

She then made no mistake with the opening she fashioned, curling a vicious effort into the top corner of the net from range.

It was a demonstration of the WSL’s all-time leading scorer’s sparkling ability and also put us on the path to victory in the Midlands after Miedema had also equalised following the hosts’ opener.

Further goals from Mary Fowler and Jess Park rubber-stamped a deserved City victory at Villa Park.

The Australia international was nominated for the WSL Player of the Season award at the awards evening, meanwhile Park too was in the running for Goal of the Season.

But Miedema’s effort was the pick of the bunch and she beat Arsenal’s Alessia Russo and Frida Maanum, Chelsea’s Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Leicester’s Janice Cayman, Manchester United’s Grace Clinton and West Ham’s Viviane Asseyi to the prize.

Congratulations to Viv for on winning the WSL Goal of the Season award!
