Another season of the English Premier League has come and gone, but before the transfer period becomes the talk of the town, I wanted to take a look back at some of the best goals from the 2008-2009 season.

The goals on this list are ones that simply made me say wow.  The goals could have put a team up by one in stoppage time, or up by four in the first half, as long as they were exciting or took incredible skill. 

There were 942 goals scored this season, so if I left out a good one, I apologize. Please feel free to comment and let me know what I missed.

(One quick note: Some videos have ads that pop-up, just click the play button again to skip.)

Let's get it started with a few honorable mention tallies.

Honorable Mention

Deco—Chelsea v. Bolton

Andrey Arshavin—Arsenal v. Blackburn

Robin van Persie—Arsenal v. Liverpool

10.  Peter Crouch—Portsmouth v. Stoke

I never thought there would be a day when Peter Crouch used his feet to score a goal on a top 10 list. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good bicycle kick. Crouch uses amazing control in this October game against Stoke City to rifle one into the bottom corner.

9.  Paul Konchesky—Fulham v. West Ham

As a Hammers fan, it pains me to put this on the list, with a former player doing it against my favorite club. But Konchesky deserves it with this rocket strike that could not be placed any more perfectly in the top corner of the net.

8.  Robbie Keane—Liverpool v. Arsenal

This was one of the few bright spots of Keane's short stay at Anfield. It was a beautiful ball down the field met with one touch by Keane and hit straight by Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia. Just a great play all around.

7.  Geovanni—Hull v. Arsenal

One of my personal favorites. A cannonading shot from well outside the 18-yard box that barely kisses off the woodwork. Even more impressive was that it was on the road at the Emirates, and it tied the match in the second half. What a strike.

6.  Nicolas Anelka—Chelsea v. Sunderland

This one is fresh in my mind, since it happened just eight days ago on the final day of the season. Anelka took the ball in his own half and went the rest of the way on his own, the run culminating in a driving, curling strike into the top corner. This goal also happened to be the one that won him the Golden Boot as the Premier League's top scorer.
