Best goal of the season: Coutinho’s wonder-strike v Southampton
The 22-year-old virtually staged his own Goal of the Season competition this term. His efforts against Bolton and Man. City were exceptional, but the Southampton strike was the best of the lot. Picking the ball up 30-yards out, Coutinho fizzed a curling drive with his instep into the top corner of Fraser Forster’s goal. It was postage stamp stuff, and set the tone for a comfortable 2-0 win. Now, whenever he finds possession in range, there’s an expectation that something special is going to happen.
