Alisson wonderland, Hodgson bows out and Dallas shoots down City – 7 key moments

Sergio Aguero’s Panenka pain and Liverpool’s thrashing by Aston Villa also made it another memorable Premier League campaign.

Published

Fans have sadly been absent from the Premier League for most of this season but there have still been plenty of memorable moments.

From thumping wins to stand-out goals, glaring misses and an emotional farewell, the 2020-21 campaign created plenty of talking points.

Here, the PA news agency picks out seven moments that will not be forgotten.

Alisson’s goal

As a script, a goalkeeper going up for a corner with his side desperately in need of a last-gasp goal to keep their season alive and scoring the winner with a magnificent header, is certainly Hollywood material. Alisson Becker’s goal proved a massive fillip in Liverpool’s bid to qualify for the Champions League – they went on to finish third – and will go down as one of the Premier League’s great moments, made all the more poignant by the death of the Brazilian’s father in February.

Aguer-no

The stage was set. City were 1-0 ahead against Chelsea in a game where victory would seal another Premier League title and with a penalty offering the chance to move one step closer. Who better to take it than record goal-scorer Sergio Aguero as one of his final contributions to the club? But the Argentinian was left red-faced as his attempted Panenka chip was comfortably caught by Edouard Mendy, with Chelsea going on to win the game 2-1.
