Alejandro Garnacho Wins Premier League 2023/24 Goal of the Season
Garnacho’s stunning overhead kick against Everton
Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho has been awarded the Premier League 2023/24 Goal of the Season for his incredible overhead kick against Everton. The Argentine winger’s acrobatic effort was reminiscent of Wayne Rooney’s iconic goal against Manchester City in 2011.
Garnacho’s goal was a standout moment in Manchester United’s 3-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park. The 17-year-old’s strike was a testament to his skill and athleticism, leaving fans and pundits alike in awe.
“I can’t believe it to be honest,” Garnacho said after the match. “I didn’t see how I scored. I just listened to the crowd and said, ‘Oh my god’.”
Garnacho’s goal beat out efforts from Manchester United teammates Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo, as well as Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma, Brentford’s Saman Ghoddos, Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, Manchester City’s Oscar Bobb, and Chelsea pair Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo.

The individual accolade comes on the heels of Garnacho’s starring role in Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final. The rapid winger took advantage of a defensive mix-up between Cityzens pair Josko Gvardiol and Stefan Ortega to tap his side into the lead just over the half-hour mark. Only eight minutes later, fellow young sensation Kobbie Mainoo doubled the lead with a smart finish from captain Fernandes’ assist.
Garnacho’s impressive form has cemented his place as one of the Premier League’s most exciting young talents. As the season comes to a close, fans will be eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this talented Argentine winger.
