The nominees for this year’s Puskás Award were announced this afternoon, with the shortlist including goals from Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, Celtic forward Moussa Dembele and Juventus front man Mario Mandzukic.

The award, first established in 2009, will go to the player who is judged to have scored the most “aesthetically significant” or “most beautiful” goal of the year.
