The top 5 goals in the WSL this season, including Beth Mead & Pernille Harder

Extravagant chips, mazy solo runs, long-range thunderbolts –– this year’s Women’s Super League has been filled with outstanding goals. 

Ona Battle’s finish for Manchester United against Reading, Sarah Mayling’s free-kick for Aston Villa versus Leicester, and Hanna Benison’s memorable effort against Birmingham were just some of the notable individual strikes from this campaign. 

However, none of these have made GiveMeSport Women’s top five goals of the 2021/2022 season.

With so many worthy strikes to choose from, here’s who made our list: 

Mead has enjoyed a stellar season for the Gunners and a few of her goals have been goal of the season contenders. 

Her precise finish against Chelsea at the Emirates on the opening weekend set the tone for what was to come, while her match-winning free-kick against Brighton was named Arsenal’s goal of the month for January. 

It’s her strike against Aston Villa last weekend that makes our list though. The Gunners won the game 7-0 and Mead’s majestic long-range effort was the pick of the bunch.

After receiving the ball from Katie McCabe, the English forward took one touch, looked up, before unleashing a dipping, swerving and unstoppable shot into the top right corner.

Harder showcased her range of tricks against Tottenham recently when she set up Kerr’s winning goal. 

But her finest moment came against Man United back in September. The Danish star picked up the ball on the halfway line, glided past half of United’s side, before chipping the ball over Mary Earps. 

Chelsea went on to win the match 6-1 and they’ve barely looked back in the league ever since.
