Where does Julio Enciso's thunderbolt against Chelsea rank in the goal of the season competition? Rating it against strikes from Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle players

Julio Enciso may only be 19, but he may have just scored one of the best goals in his entire career.

The 19-year-old’s strike from 30 yards helped Brighton to a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, keeping Albion in the race for European football next season and inflicting the fourth defeat in a row for Frank Lampard’s side.

Enciso, who had previously only scored one goal in his professional footballing career, picked up the ball in space outside the Chelsea box with just over 20 minutes left to play and fired a shot that rifled past Kepa Arrizabalaga into the top corner, causing pandemonium in the away section behind that goal.

It was a goal worthy of winning any match and teammate Danny Welbeck said it was a goal the teenager will never forget.

Welbeck told Match Of The Day: “It was an unbelievable strike from Julio. He’s a tricky player and he can beat a man. He likes to shoot from distance.

"I started making a run and was thinking he is not going to play me here. But he’s struck it perfectly and what an unbelievable moment for him. He will never forget that.”

An unforgettable goal, but where does it rank in the overall goal of the season competition?
