Puskas Award 2017: Nominees, videos & voting for the goal of the year

The final three nominees for the 2017 Puskas Award for the best goal scored over the past year have been confirmed.

Ten spectacular efforts were initially up for the prize, with the likes of Manchester United's Nemanja Matic among those in contention, but the nominees have been whittled down.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud faces competition from Venezuela women's team starlet Deyna Castellanos and Baroka goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke.

The Puskas Award — named after legendary Real Madrid and Hungary striker Ferenc Puskas — has also shined a light on some lesser-known players, though, with Mohd Faiz Subri of Malaysian club Penang the reigning champion.
