GIF: Morgan Amalfitano's unbelievable lob against Cardiff City

West Brom Albion’s Morgan Amalfitano scored in the second minute against Cardiff City with an unbelievable lob from the right side. Did he mean to? Or was it a cross which went inside? Just a few weeks back Wayne Rooney scored a 55 yard wonder goal against West Ham. Was this goal better than Rooney’s? Well, it’s certainly a goal of the season contender.

Sky presenter Paul Merson thinks it was better than Rooney’s.

That is not just it though; the goal is also significant for the time in which it was scored.

And more tweets on the goal:

And before we reach any conclusions, Jordon Mutch scored a stunner in the same match – another superb lobbed goal.
