Saïd Benrahma collects the Oracle Most Powerful Goal award

Benrahma claims Premier League's Oracle Most Powerful Goal award

Saïd Benrahma has won the Premier League's Oracle Most Powerful Goal award for the 2022/23 season.

In a campaign full of powerful strikes across the league, only one spectacular goal could claim the prize - and that was Benrahma's rocket strike against Crystal Palace at London Stadium back in November.

The Algeria forward's strike was a true showcase of his abilities, as he showed excellent skill to move away from two Eagles defenders before unleashing an unstoppable right-footed shot into the top-left corner.

Benrahma's fierce strike was measured to have an average speed of 107.17km/h between the ball leaving his boot to crossing the goalline.

This was the fastest average speed from all the goals scored from outside the area in the 2022/23 season without a deflection off another player.

Benrahma becomes the second player to win the prize after Manchester City's Fernandinho claimed the inaugural award last season.
