9) Bruno Fernandes (Brighton 0 MANCHESTER UNITED 3, June 30)

The Portugal playmaker transformed United after his January arrival at Old Trafford, not just bringing the best out of his team-mates but also weighing in with goals galore. His second effort at the Amex Stadium capped a flowing team move, with the 25-year-old keeping his composure at the end of a rapid counter-attack to slot home on the volley.

8) Hamza Choudhury (Newcastle 0 LEICESTER 3, January 1)

The homegrown Foxes midfielder had no need to break stride as he stepped up and sidefooted in off the bar from 20 yards, completing Leicester's 3-0 win at St James' Park. A maiden Leicester goal of some quality, and one to remember for the Loughborough-born midfielder.

7) Trent Alexander-Arnold (Chelsea 1 LIVERPOOL 2, September 22)

Liverpool's right-back helped the eventual champions to an important away victory with a bullet 18-yard strike. Mo Salah played a clever backheel from a free-kick on the edge of the Chelsea area and Alexander-Arnold arrowed an effort into the top corner.

6) Fabinho (LIVERPOOL 4 Crystal Palace 0, June 24)

The Brazil midfielder generated stunning power with little to no backlift, thundering home from 30-plus yards. It was even better than the similarly-struck stunner against Manchester City in November, proving both fine goals were based in technique and craft.

5) Moussa Djenepo (Sheffield United 0 SOUTHAMPTON 1, September 14)

Mali international Djenepo pounced on a loose ball 40 yards from goal, eluded three defenders before drilling a low shot past Dean Henderson. It was enough to win the day at Bramall Lane, and a virtuoso effort to light up any contest.

4) Kevin De Bruyne (Newcastle 2 MANCHESTER CITY 2, November 30)

Another stellar season for the Belgium star boiled down to moments of sheer class like this. The 29-year-old chested down on the edge of the area, waited for the ball to sit up – and then cannoned a volley in off the underside of the crossbar.

3) Alireza Jahanbakhsh (BRIGHTON 1 Chelsea 1, January 1)

An outrageous bicycle kick, this acrobatic piece of skill earned the Seagulls a vital point against a frustrated Chelsea on New Year's Day. The Iran winger left Kepa Arrizbalaga with no chance with one of the most stunning moments of the campaign.

2) Mohamed Salah (LIVERPOOL 3 Newcastle 1, September 14)

The Egyptian sent Liverpool fans delirious again with a fine piece of interlinking play with team-mate Roberto Firmino. Salah fed the ball into Firmino, with the Brazilian returning the pass via a cute backheel. Salah raced into the box, picked up the return ball and delivered an ice-cool finish.

1) Son Heung-min (TOTTENHAM 5 Burnley 0, December 7)

South Korea forward Son raced fully 80 yards, eluding at least six Burnley defenders before finishing coolly past Nick Pope. A feat of endurance, skill and ruthlessness, and one to draw the highest praise from manager Jose Mourinho. The Spurs boss dubbed the 28-year-old "Sonaldo", in reference to former Brazil World Cup winner Ronaldo.
