As Besart Berisha bids farewell to Melbourne Victory, we decided to take a look at his biggest goals for the club…

5. Round 27, 2016/17 against Central Coast Mariners

A milestone moment for Berisha as he became the first Hyundai A-League player to register 100 goals in the competition. The record clearly meant a lot to him as the emotion poured out in his celebration.  

4. Round 21, 2016/17 against Adelaide United

From a technique point-of-view, one of his best for the club. Running at the Adelaide defence, Berisha curled the ball into the bottom corner using the outside of his boot to ensure Victory took the points

3. Grand Final, 2016/17 against Sydney FC

While Victory didn’t win this match Berisha showed his big game quality to give his side a chance early on. Some lovely stepovers followed by a cool finish gave Victory an unlikely lead against their more fancied opponents.

2. Elimination Final, 2017/18 against Adelaide United

Desperate for a goal with the scores locked at 1-1 and extra time looming of course Berisha would step up with something incredible. With his back to goal, the striker pulled off an unbelievable bicycle kick to send Victory into the Semi Final.

1. Grand Final, 2014/15 against Sydney FC

Undeniably his biggest goal for the club, Berisha’s 2015 Grand Final strike was exactly the reason Victory signed him in the first place. The goal put the home side well and truly on course to win its third A-League Championship in front of a packed AAMI Park.
