Gomez scores halfway line screamer as Brighton crush Palace
Story updated
The story in brief
27-second readBeyond the aesthetic beauty of the goal, the statistics behind the strike highlight just how rare such a feat is in the English top flight.
Gomez's effort from 51 metres is officially the furthest distance a Premier League goal has been scored from in nearly a decade. It is the longest-range successful attempt since Wayne Rooney famously scored from 58 metres for Everton against West Ham United back in November 2017.
This spectacular moment served as Gomez's first goal of the current campaign, adding to the two assists he has already provided for Fabian Hurzeler's side this season.
