Matthew Lowton [Aston Villa] vs Stoke City
Last but not least is Aston Villa’s Matt Lowton who thanks to his thunderous strike deserves a place between the best goals of the past year. Nobody expected the defender to have a try from over 30 metres. The Englishman showed great control of the ball and with a powerful shot found the net in a 1-3 win over Stoke City in April.
