On Monday, Ismaila Sarr launched an unbelievable shot from within his own half that lobbed West Brom keeper David Button. The Watford player has had an outstanding start to the season, contributing to his team’s victory over Sheffield United on the opening day of the season.

The 24-year-old had been rumored to be leaving Vicarage Road, but his team is liking his performance and will try to hold onto him until the summer transfer window.

The Senegal international needed a few touches to get the ball out of his foot after plucking a clearing header from the sky ten yards inside his own half. What follows is history.

Despite the two sides agreeing to a 1-1 draw, Sarr stole the show with his spectacular goal. The Hornets star gave his team the lead at the Hawthorns inside the first 15 minutes with a goal that could have been the best of the year, according to The Mirror.

Video of Sarr’s remarkable attempt to float the ball over the head of West Brom goalkeeper David Button is doing the rounds on social media. Sarr picked up the ball just inside his own half.

The home crowd stared in awe as the incredible goal drove the away end into a frenzy. Sarr’s amazing goal may have demonstrated why he is one of the top Championship attackers this summer.

A number of Premier League teams, notably Newcastle United, West Ham, and Leeds United, have expressed interest in the Senegalese attacker.

Since signing for Watford from Rennes in 2019, the 24-year-old has consistently been one of Vicarage Road’s brightest stars.
