Barry Bannan Scores Outrageous Long-Range Goal For Sheffield Wednesday, The Goalkeeper Had No Chance

Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan scored an incredible goal of the season contender in Saturday’s League One match against MK Dons.

Wednesday were already leading 2-0 when Bannan picked up the ball in central midfield just before the half hour mark.

After being urged to shoot by the visiting fans, Bannan took one touch and then let fly from 40 yards out.

His shot looped over MK Dons goalkeeper Jamie Cumming and into the back of the net, to the disbelief of the home fans.

Wednesday supporters on social media were quick to praise Bannan for trying his luck.

“Brilliant. We don't see enough players hit it when it sits up nice. Have a pop son,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

Another wrote: “Not many players dare to strike the ball nowadays. It's pass-pass-pass and then boop it over the line.

“Dare to fail. Dare to succeed. I miss the old days when we saw more screamers from 30-40 yards.”

Bannan had already set up the two earlier goals in the match for Saido Berahino and Lee Gregory before his long-range strike.

MK Dons pulled one back before the half-time interval through Tottenham loanee Troy Parrott.

Should Wednesday see out the win, they will move up to fifth in the League One table, with MK Dons remaining third.
