Playmaker’s Top Drawer

With the FA Cup Third Round swiftly behind us, a full league schedule across the top four tiers served up some spectacular strikes last weekend. Playmaker's Top Drawer features our five favourites...

Kyle Vassell (Oxford 1-3 Rotherham)

Rotherham's form has been incredibly good over recent weeks and striker Kyle Vassell's has gone through the roof too. The latest scalp claimed by the Millers was a big one in League One, Paul Warne's side beating Oxford away at the Kassam Stadium to send Rotherham top of the table. Vassell hit a double and this strike kicks off the Top Drawer this week. 

Chris Maguire (Sunderland 4-0 Wycombe)

Dislodged from the top of League One by the aforementioned Rotherham, Wycombe have taken their eye off the ball since Christmas and Sunderland were the latest team to benefit. Chris Maguire's set-piece double set the Black Cats on the way to a 4-0 win over the Chairboys at The Stadium of Light.

Josh Harrop (Blackburn 1-1 Preston)

The Lancashire derby may have ended with the spoils shared, but Josh Harrop's equaliser will live longer in the memory than the result. The former England youth international hit a stunning volley to underline his quality and earn North End a valuable point.

Lewis O'Brien (Barnsley 2-1 Huddersfield)

The Terriers may have lost this Yorkshire derby, but there was a silver lining to Lewis O'Brien's afternoon, as he hit this beauty to score his second career goal for Huddersfield. You're not saving these! 

Jason Knight (Middlesbrough 2-2 Derby)

Derby may struggle on the road, but they fought back against the Championship's form team to earn themselves a point. Jason Knight's equaliser complete the Top Drawer this week. Did he mean it? We're going to say he did!
