Premier League Goal of the Season facts for kids

The Premier League Goal of the Season is a special award given every year in football. It celebrates the player who scores the most amazing goal in the Premier League during the season. Imagine a super cool kick or a tricky move that ends with the ball in the net – that's the kind of goal that wins this award!

What is the Premier League Goal of the Season Award?

This award is for the single best goal scored in the entire Premier League season. It's a big deal because the Premier League has many fantastic players and goals. The award started after the 2016–17 season. It is currently supported by Budweiser, so it's also known as the Budweiser Goal of the Season.

How is the Best Goal Chosen?

To pick the winner, a shortlist is made. This list includes the nine goals that won the Premier League Goal of the Month award throughout the season. So, if a goal was voted the best in a certain month, it gets a chance to be the best of the whole year!

The final winner is chosen in two ways:

• First, people like you can vote online. This public vote counts for 10% of the total score.
• Second, a group of football experts also vote. Their votes make up the rest of the score.

This mix of public opinion and expert knowledge helps pick the truly best goal.
