How does Erik Lamela's Rabona compare to the best PL goals this season?

Bruno Fernandes and Mohamed Salah are among those to have scored spectacular efforts this season.

Erik Lamela scored a goal of the season contender with his Rabona in the north London derby against Arsenal.

Here, the PA News Agency looks at that spectacular strike and some of the other contenders.

Gareth Bale's return in a Spurs shirt was completely overshadowed by West Ham's comeback from 3-0 down to snatch a point, with a Lanzini thunderbolt levelling the scores in stoppage time.

It probably should not have counted but Pogba's 25-yard strike at the London Stadium on December 5 was still pretty special.

Mohamed Salah (West Ham v Liverpool)

Matt Lowton (Crystal Palace v Burnley)

Early goals in both halves helped Burnley to an impressive 3-0 away win at Crystal Palace, although their victory was marred by an injury to Ben Mee.
