With a captivating Premier League campaign in the books, it's time to reflect on the best goals of the year, with unlikely finishes and rampant runs ranking among the division's best.

Here's a look at the 10 best goals of the season, with a poll at the bottom where you can weigh in on your favourite.

10. Pedro (Chelsea) vs. Tottenham

A goal where the celebration matches the finish.

9. Jordan Henderson (Liverpool) vs. Chelsea

A top-shelf finish for Jordan Henderson. Not pictured: Jurgen Klopp spontaneously combusting on the touchline.

8. Gaston Ramirez (Middlesbrough) vs. Bournemouth

Gaston Ramirez, my word.

7. Jeff Hendrick (Burnley) vs. Bournemouth

Jeff Hendrick's first touch is softer than a foam party at a pillow factory. Get in.

6. Dimitri Payet (West Ham) vs. Middlesbrough

Dimitri Payet spun Marten de Roon like he was blowing aimlessly in a "Sandstorm."

5. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Manchester United) vs. Sunderland

Offside, but it counted, so it makes the list.

4. Eden Hazard (Chelsea) vs. Arsenal

Imagine you're Francis Coquelin. Your skill set includes equal parts poorly weighted passes and rash challenges. For the first time in your career, you stay on your feet - only for Eden Hazard to spin you like a Lazy Susan.

3. Andy Carroll (West Ham) vs. Crystal Palace

"Whooooa, whoa-whoa Sweet Carroll Nine, whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh Sweet Carroll Nine."

2. Emre Can (Liverpool) vs. Watford

As precise a pass as Lucas Leiva could muster, and the angle at which Emre Can received the ball makes the German's blind finish that much better.

1. Olivier Giroud (Arsenal) vs. Crystal Palace

The backheel flick, the lumbering 60-yard run, and the cheeky bar-down finish: couldn't have happened to a better-looking man. Olivier Giroud, take a bow.
