Obviously I'm not talking about 'best' goal here but I'm talking Aguero moments. Ones that due to timing, opposition, importance made you and everyone around you more mental than normal to a factor 100. The later the better...
Some from the top of my head...
Dembele - v Lyon (away) - 2012/13
Crouch - v Man City (away) - 2009/10
Nielsen - v Leicester (Wembley) - 1999/00
Kaboul - v Woolwich (away) - 2010/11
Dempsey - v Man United (home) - 2012/13
Lennon - v Woolwich (away) - 2008/09
Stalteri - v West Ham (away) - 2006/07
Klinsmann - v Liverpool (away) - 1994/95
For me it's probably Nieslen at Wembley. It was the first thing I'd ever seen us win, it was last minute, we were down to 10 men (always hate on Robbie Savage for this) and the ball hit the net right in front of me. Although we were huge favourites before the game it felt like a smash and grab from the way the game had gone.
In most recent memory obviously the Dembele goal is up there. I can't recall a time in my life where we've nicked victory from defeat like that because of the away goals rule. Watched it in a Sports Bar on City Road that turned out to full of Spurs but would have loved to have been in Lyon.
If I had to chose 2 games that I most wish I could have been at it would be Crouch v Man City, and Klinsmann v Liverpool. The chaos after those goals is off the scale IMO.
