Another action-packed Premier League season is drawing to a close and there have been a number of brilliant goals.

Here, we pick out the strikes that have lit up the season ahead of Matchday 38.

Allan Saint-Maximin (vs Wolves, August 2022)

Newcastle needed something special to keep their early unbeaten run intact and Allan Saint-Maximin delivered. 

With the clock approaching 90 minutes, the winger sent a stunning first-time volley from the edge of the area into the bottom corner to earn a 1-1 draw at Wolves.

Miguel Almiron (vs Fulham, October 2022)

Newcastle enjoyed their trip down by the Thames with a 4-1 romp at Fulham and Miguel Almiron scored a brilliant goal. 

The winger played a one-two with Bruno Guimaraes and delivered a sublime volley from an angle that made it 2-0.

Youri Tielemans (vs Wolves, October 2022)

Leicester did not have much to shout about during the season but their 4-0 win at Wolves in October was a rare day in the sun. 

And it all started with a special goal from Youri Tielemans, who spanked a clearance into the top corner from 20 yards.

Demarai Gray (vs Manchester City, December 2022)

Everton earned one of the biggest shocks of the season when they stole a point in a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on New Year's Eve. 

And Demarai Gray’s goal was worthy of it as he curled in to the top corner from the angle of the penalty area.

Marcus Rashford (vs Arsenal, January 2023)

Marcus Rashford had a brilliant individual campaign and scored a fine solo goal in a thrilling game at Arsenal, which Manchester United lost 3-2.

Willian (vs Nottingham Forest, February 2023)

Willian had one of the best seasons of his career for Fulham and there was nothing better than his goal in the home win over Nottingham Forest. 

He picked up the ball at the far post, made light work of Renan Lodi and then sent in a curling effort that beat four Forest defenders and went into the top corner.

Jonny (vs Leeds, March 2023)

There was not much to shout about for Wolves during their home game with Leeds, other than a brilliant goal by Jonny. 

The Portuguese defender, who was later sent off, latched on to a stray pass and sent a 40-yard first-time volley into an unguarded net as his side went down 4-2.

Matheus Nunes (vs Chelsea, April 2023)

Wolves claimed back-to-back goal of the month wins thanks to Matheus Nunes’ impressive strike in the 1-0 win against Chelsea. 

The ball fell to the Portuguese at the far post and he thundered a first time shot across goal and into the top corner of the goal.

Erling Haaland (vs Southampton, April 2023)

Having scored so many goals throughout the course of the season it was inevitable that one of them was going to be special. 

And Erling Haaland's second of two in a 4-1 romp at Southampton fitted the bill as he produced a stunning overhead kick from Jack Grealish's cross.

Ilkay Gundogan (vs Everton, May 2023)

The City machine was in full flow and Ilkay Gundogan got things going at Everton with a sublime opener. 

Captain for the day, the Germany international controlled Riyad Mahrez's cross on his knee and, with his back to goal, flicked the ball past Jordan Pickford.
