​VICE Sports Goals of the Week

If you have even a vague fondness for association football, the chances are that you're also rather partial to goals. That being the case, this is most certainly the column for you.

After much deliberation and a rigorous selection process, here are our three goals of the week. We've picked strikes you're unlikely to have seen already and, more importantly, they're all bona fide screamers. In ascending order of excellence:

Sunderland are having a horrible season, aren't they? It's one of those genuinely irredeemable campaigns where the playing squad is terrible, the team can't find form, and Sam Allardyce keeps bellowing about how shit everything is in his booming Dudley brogue.

Still, at least the kids are alright. The U21s are currently top of the youth table, down in no small part to screamers like this from star striker Carl Lawson.

He might have sliced this effort a little bit, but it doesn't detract from the beauty of the goal. Playing in the U21s latest match up with Middlesbrough, he's allowed a cross into the box to bounce up off the turf before flipping it nonchalantly into the top corner.

This is a very different sort of goal, but all the more impressive.

Handed a start in Man City Ladies' FA Cup Fifth Round tie with Liverpool, 17-year-old Georgia Stanway only took half an hour to net a 30-yard cracker. Unmarked in the middle of the pitch, she got into her stride before sending a shot sailing into the top corner.

We challenge you to name a single goalkeeper on the planet who could have saved this. Go on, name one.

Though the Seleção are in a bit of a slump at the moment, there's still plenty to get excited about in Brazil's national leagues.

Take teenage Gremio prospect Lincoln, for instance. He's scored the undisputed goal of the week with this bed-shittingly good backheel volley against Ypiranga Erechim.

He barely even looks while he's shooting here. He doesn't need actual, human eyes like the rest of us – the holy spirit of football commands him, and he simply obeys.
