Have your say on Man City's Premier League goal of the season

Manchester City ended the season in sensational style on Sunday, pulling off a remarkable second-half comeback from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 to clinch the Premier League title.

City's three goals - scored in a mad five-minute spell - were beautifully worked and superbly executed, as were many of City's 99 league goals this season. And to think that some said City would struggle without an elite striker...

Given that the nominees for the Premier League's goal of the season competition comprise of each of the goal of the month winners, Rodri's thunderbolt against Everton is the only City representative.

So, here at MEN Sport we thought we'd give you the chance to vote for your City goal of the season.

Raheem Sterling vs Everton

If it wasn't for the next goal in this list, City's opener in the 3-0 defeat of Everton in November might have been the most aesthetically pleasing goal of the season.

It all started with a sumptuous outside of the foot cross from Joao Cancelo out on the left, which Raheem Sterling guided beautifully into the far corner with a cushioned volley.

In terms of goal and assist, it's hard to think of a better combination this season.

Bernardo Silva vs Aston Villa

Bernardo Silva crashing volley away at Aston Villa, a fitting way to end arguably the best counter-attack seen in the Premier League this season, was truly a sight to behold.

It took just 11 touches, 15 seconds and five City players to take the ball from City's penalty area to the back of the Villa net - all while under pretty intense pressing - and it was the Portuguese star that finished it off with a stunning side-footed volley.

The best bit about the goal was the anticipation that built as Gabriel Jesus' cross sailed over to Bernardo. Surely he's not going to hit it... he did!

Joao Cancelo vs Newcastle

Cancelo had an incredible season at left-back, and with his goal at St James' Park he showed just how comfortable he is tucking into midfield and getting involved in attacks.

Collecting the ball midway into the Newcastle half, the Portuguese star juked past one challenge, side-stepped another and then lashed the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Kevin de Bruyne vs Chelsea

Everything about Kevin de Bruyne's match-winner at home to Chelsea was superb.

The awareness and skill to collect the ball without breaking stride and surge towards goal, the determination to shrug off a foul by N'Golo Kante and the technique to curl a shot - with little-to-no back-lift, just beyond the reach of Eduard Mendy was incredible.

As well as helping to establish a healthy lead for City at the top of the table, that goal saw De Bruyne embark on a stunning run of match-winning performances, earning him the play of the season award.

Rodri vs Watford

Rodri cut quite an understated figure in his first two seasons at City, but this year he quickly became the centre of attention by forging a reputation for scoring spectacular goals.

Jesus might have grabbed the headlines by scoring four in a 5-1 demolition of Watford last month, but Rodri's stunning volley was clearly the goal of the game.

Ignoring calls to put the ball out of play so that De Bruyne could receive treatment, Rodri controlled a cross from Jesus with his chest before lashing the ball into the far top corner. They don't call him Rodri Rocket for nothing.
