10 of the best FA Cup goals scored in 2023/24

The 2023-24 FA Cup campaign has been one of the best in recent memory, with fairytale runs, classic cup contests and an upset in the final at Wembley.

As the dust settles on the FA Cup season, we’ve decided to celebrate 10 of the best goals scored in the competition this season.

Noni Madueke – CHELSEA vs Leicester

Noni Madueke’s Chelsea career is yet to catch fire, but the winger sent a message with a stunning goal in the club’s quarter-final win over Leicester at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues survived a scare to beat the Championship leaders with late goals from substitutes Carney Chukwuemeka and Madueke dispatching Chelsea. The latter was a thing of beauty as he slalomed past two Foxes challenges before bending an unstoppable effort into the top corner.

Haji Wright – Wolves vs COVENTRY

Coventry have been one of the stories of the season with a run to the semi-finals and the Sky Blues have certainly bloodied the noses of the top teams in the FA Cup.

A Midlands clash saw Mark Robins’ side stun Wolves at Molineux after a dramatic finish. Coventry led through Ellis Simms until the 83rd minute but two quick goals from Wolves looked to have turned the game.

Simms scored a second in the 97th minute to level before the final twist in the tale, while Haji Wright fired home an effort moments later to seal a stunning success.

Jordan Clark – LUTON vs Manchester City

Luton had little to celebrate after being knocked out by the holders in the fifth round, a clash in which Erling Haaland scored five goals at Kenilworth Road.

None of the Norwegian’s efforts could top Jordan Clark’s consolation, however, as the midfielder curled home from 25 yards.

Enzo Fernandez – Aston Villa vs CHELSEA

Enzo Fernandez hasn’t been convinced he’s worth the British record Chelsea have paid for his services so far, but more strikes of this caliber will surely put the doubters to rest.

A postage stamp free-kick from the midfielder saw Chelsea beat Aston Villa impressively, leaving Argentina team-mate Emi Martinez with no chance.

Bryn Morris – NEWPORT COUNTY vs Manchester United

Newport gave Manchester United a scare in the fourth round as the fourth-placed side came from two goals down against the eventual winners before falling to a 4-2 defeat.

Bryn Morris started the comeback with a cracker, as his sweet shot bounced past Lisandro Martinez to beat debutant Altay Bayindir in goal.

Broja Sainz – Liverpool vs NORWICH

A summer signing from Giresunspor in the Turkish Süper Lig, Broja Sainz showed moments of real quality during a debut season at Norwich that featured eight goals.

Arguably the pick of the bunch was this effort against Liverpool at Anfield as the Spaniard strode to collect a header from Virgil van Dijk and unleashed a powerful strike.

Pedro Neto – West Brom vs WOLVES

The first Black Country derby with fans in attendance for 12 years saw play halted due to crowd trouble, Pedro Neto’s individual brilliance overshadowed by unsavory scenes off the pitch.

Neto opened the scoring for Wolves with a solo effort at The Hawthorns, advancing on the counter before stepping into two challenges and firing home.

Yunus Akgun – LEICESTER vs Birmingham

Yunus Akgun struggled for regular minutes during Leicester’s promotion campaign but made the most of a rare chance against Birmingham in the cup competition.

The Foxes cruised past their division rivals and on-loan Akgun scored his first Leicester goal with a shot past John Ruddy.

Lamar Reynolds – Ipswich v MAIDSTONE

Maidstone were undoubtedly the story of the FA Cup season as the sixth-placed side embarked on an unforgettable run to the fifth round.

The National League South side pulled off a sensational upset of Championship leaders Ipswich Town at Portman Road with Lamar Reynolds opening the scoring on the counter-attack. A nerveless finish from Reynolds, lifted over the keeper, set Maidstone on course for victory over a team 98 places above them in the football pyramid.

Phil Foden – MANCHESTER CITY vs Huddersfield

It’s been a special season for Phil Foden, crowned FWA Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season.

Foden set a new club record for Manchester City after scoring six goals from outside the box in the Premier League and added a new record in their FA Cup win over Huddersfield.

Seated to perfection.
