Moussa Diaby's stunning strike for Aston Villa against Wolverhampton Wanderers has won the Oracle Most Powerful Goal award.
An Aston Villa cross was deflected to the edge of the box, where Diaby ran onto the ball and smashed a shot past four Wolves defenders and their goalkeeper. It was the opening goal of a 2-0 win that maintained Aston Villa's position in the top four heading into April.
