Some Premier League moments in the Premier League are so audacious, they almost make history… But these are the ones that were just inches away from being iconic.
Neto.
Garnaccio.
Balling for Nemanja Matic.
He's teased back into the fray.
It would have been spectacular.
And he's annoyed that he didn't get the technique right in that one.
Matic can free Willian now through the middle.
And it's four against one here in Chelsea's favour.
Willian for the Londoners.
Ramirez!
Saved by Hart.
Willian with the overhead.
And Joe Hart, who had such an unhappy day at Stamford Bridge,
rescued his team there.
Klein.
He's done very well to get the cross in.
He could have scored a great semi-match, let alone a derby.
He may have hit the target.
Wilshere.
Nasri.
Fabregas trying to get through himself.
Improvising.
Well, is he fouled there?
He goes to ground.
Did he go to ground so he could execute the overhead kick?
He'll tell you he did.
We'll still have to look to see where...
Haaland balls!
Norwegian went for the spectacular...
It's nice to see him smirk.
And you can do that when you've got...
What is it? 52?
52. Just the 52 goals this season.
Boris found Bardsley.
With the overhead on.
Goodmanson.
Ultimately, a promising attack comes to nothing.
A bit of a corner kick.
And he's looking for a spectacular goal
against the club who sold him in the summer.
He would have liked that one, wouldn't he,
if he could have got that on target.
It's just a little bit behind him.
Well, an acrobatic attempt from Mounier.
Smashed a volley off the bar last week
via a touch from Fabianski.
This one, well over the bar.
He's crossed the cane!
If he'd pulled that off
and managed to find the back of the net,
it would have been right up there.
Very hard to time those.
And he couldn't.
Sarr.
Sarr there to apply the pressure.
Oh, when he banged the overhead,
he could tell it was extravagant.
It's Elian Keter who throws himself up in the air,
going for something a little spectacular.
Valencia.
It was well back.
Well, for those in the top corner,
you're talking goal of the season.
And if it doesn't?
Well, I don't really want to see this again.
That's my answer to that.
This is El Abdullahi.
He's been a little less high profile
as an attacking force in the second half.
But here he goes.
He's done well to get that across.
The ass went for the spectacular.
Spectacular effort from the ass.
Just doesn't need contact.
Sanchez herring forward.
This is Neto.
Plenty of Chelsea blue.
Spencer's header only as far as Fernandez.
That rubber, that spurs off the hook.
Yeah, might have just gone the wrong way there,
Enzo Fernandez, with that one.
Great run.
Had options to his left and right.
He chose Neto.
As it was, he eventually fizzles out.
Poor header from Jed Spence,
but just enough in the overhead kick.
Three minutes.
Not half time.
A little reticent there.
And too much of a turn.
He had more space than he realised, Darwin Nunes.
Comes into him.
Kessler-Jones wins the header.
Just that turn and spin.
Losing his balance.
In by Ivanovic.
Missed by Diego Costa.
Just too much pace on the cross for Willian.
Across to the far post.
There wasn't a lot of danger here to Newcastle, actually.
Here he is again.
Looking for Ronaldo and finding him.
Little right smile from Ronaldo.
Didn't quite have the radar right.
West Ham corner from Creswell.
Gennett has gone towards O'Connor.
And it's something...
What would have been out of the top draw from Craig Dawson,
but the execution was lacking just a touch.
Well, that would have been miracle stuff.
And this guy, Craig Dawson.
Aguero.
He's kept it from spalling strongly.
He's taking on Young.
It's Aguero's cross.
Flicked up for Bernardo Silva, the hit.
And he's somersaulted.
Crouch.
And Juve.
Tried the spectacular.
It's offside now against Peter Crouch.
The flag is up.
A nearly, but not quite, story for Stoke City.
Juve have possibly taken the area.
It's the acrobatic effort.
Palmer's strike.
And then the ambitious attempt.
Why not from Nicholas Jackson?
But it goes some way wide of goal.
The carpet.
Zahara and Menteke were both in there.
Neither got a meaningful tuck on it, though.
Anthony.
That's good.
It was just behind Hoylincarn.
Hachio going for yet another blockbuster.
But it wasn't of the same calibre as the sensational strike at Goodison.
Fair play for Triumph.
