Just been having an argument with an Arsenal fan who was claiming VP's goal was better than this. They were both technically brilliant, but Di Canio positioned his body much better as the ball doesn't come onto his foot. He also connects about a foot higher than VP, and the ball comes from further away which required more timing. I think this is one of the best Prem goals scored.
@lankyheaz as a neutral i can honestly say that di canio's goal pisses all over VP's goal which was good but the timing and execution for di canio's goal was just out of this world. if u were to dream about hitting the ball with such accuracy, power, precision u still wouldn't get close and he did it via a scissor kick with the outside of his foot!!!. amazing!!. i remembered this goal and actually searched for it as has stuck in my mind all these years. to sum it up - EXCELLENCE OF EXECUTION!!!
@baldeepsingh Similar, but Di Canio's is still just amazing. Van Persie just sort of let the ball hit his foot, great goal but Di Canio is off the floor by at least a foot when he connects, and he really goes for it.
Nearly twelve years on and I think about this goal from time to time. I remember watching it live and being stunned. One of the greatest volleys in the history of the game. I remember it was the same weekend as Paul Scholes hit a stunner from a Beckham corner as well. Another great goal.
Best ever perm goal

This and the Robben volley vs. Manchester United in Champions League are the best I've seen in terms of ball striking. About as good as it gets.

this is the type of goal everyone tries to recreate in the park, except for when they make contact it goes miles over lol

van basten's vs russia was a cracker, as was bergkamp's vs argentina, but this is the distilled essence of why we watch football.
if an alien landed and asked why football is more popular than religion this is my evidence.
i have yet to see a better goal.
