#Tony Yeboah's goal against Wimbledon in 1995 was voted the second greatest goal in the history of the English Premier League in 2007 by fans with only Dennis Bergkamp's goal for Arsenal at Newcastle surpassing it.
Tony Yeboah has been celebrated as his goal featured in the Premier League GoalOfTheDay.
This was a major contender too against Wimbledon as Yeboah threatened to turn the 1995-1996 Goal of the Season competition into a personal crusade.
Leeds were leading the Dons 2-1 with half-time beckoning but had dominated the first half and their two-goal cushion was restored in brilliant style by Yeboah.
Yeboah collected the ball from a tame clearance by Kenny Cunningham but he still had so much to do. He controlled the ball on his chest, knocked it on with his knee, then took another deft touch to evade the challenge of Alan Reeves before launching a missile of a shot beyond Paul Heald.
The ball was hit with such venom it nearly burst the Selhurst Park crossbar.
