Here is my top five goals from Matchday 15 of the Barclay's Premier League.

5. Ishmael Miller—West Bromwich Albion

Miller gave West Brom the perfect start to the second half in their eventual 2-1 loss. The talented striker capitalized on a Titus Bramble mistake, and strode on to produce an excellent finish past Wigan keeper Chris Kirkland.

4. Johan Elmander—Bolton Wanderers

A great goal by Elmander to cap off an excellent performance by Bolton Wanderers. The Swedish international was particularly impressive, scoring two fantastic goals.

His second one stood out the most; he collected a pass from Kevin Nolan just inside the box, before firing a ferocious shot past the helpless Craig Gordon in the Sunderland goal.

3. Robin Van Persie—Arsenal

The flying Dutchman stunned the Stamford Bridge crowd a second time, when after latching onto a fine header down by Emmanuel Adebayor, the forward hit a superb low effort on the turn, which drilled into the bottom right corner, out of reach for Chelsea keeper Petr Cech.

2. Robin Van Persie—Arsenal

Despite clearly being offside, for me this was a great goal by Robin Van Persie. The Dutchman showed he was back to his best when he smashed an excellent right-footed shot into the top corner from the edge of the box.

It was a fantastic goal, and a very important one for Arsenal, as it turned the game round and gave Arsenal the impetus to go on and win.

1. Tugay Kerimoğlu—Blackburn Rovers

Despite going on to lose 3-2, Blackburn Rovers can be happy that their temporarily equalizing goal was an absolute beauty. Portsmouth looked nervous, and literally invited Tugay to have a go at goal.

And the Turkish midfielder did just that, motoring forward from about 50 yards, before going on to unleash a ferociously beautiful shot from around 25 yards out, that drilled its way past the absolutely helpless calamity James in the Portsmouth goal.
