Poll Results: Raul Meireles wins the Goal of the Week

After week of voting has come to a close, so its time to reveal who the 101 audience believed scored the best goal of the week.

In third place, scooping 14% of the vote, was Arsenals Robin van Persie for his sublime volley from Cescs raking 30-yard pass against Wigan last weekend in the Premier League. Shifting attention over to Turkey we find Fenerbahces Gokhan Gonul in the runners-up spot with a healthy 16% of the vote for his amazing slalom run and chipped finish against Antalyaspor last Saturday in the Super Lig.

Liverpools Raul Meireles though, with a massive 35% of the votes, scooped the top honours. Not only did the Portuguese midfielder have arguably his best Liverpool performance against Wolves last weekend (highlights here), Meireles announced his goalscoring ability to the Premier League at large with a tremendous volley at Molineux.

Aside from just delivering last weeks voting results, we also use this post to flag up some goals which could likely comprise next Mondays list.

Didier Drogba has already posted a brilliant goal vying for a spot in next weeks top ten as the Ivorian thrashed a swerving thunderbolt past Jussi Jaaskelainen last Monday night at the Reebok. But while Drogbas strike was high-profile, it is hugely debatable whether it was a better golazo that Zilinas Ondrej So! ureks sumptuous half volley against Al Hilil scored at the terribly uninteresting Dubai Cup.

Putting both strikes in the shade though was Yoahandry Orozcos wonder-goal for (Venezuela U20 against Peru U20. Drawing comparisons to the great slalom efforts of Maradona, Messi and Giggs, the 19-year-old Zulia FC attacking midfielder flagged himself up as a star of the tomorrow with his incredible 70-yard, 4-defender-beating run and killer finish.

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...
