It was close this week. Robbie Keane's first goal for Tottenham against Charlton, where two improvised flicks and feints took the Irish captain through the Charlton defence before he volleyed home was the early frontrunner.

But then I saw Ronaldinho bend a free-kick around a Deportivo La Coruna wall and into the top left corner and I was torn. Rather than agonise over the decision, I decided to use the players celebrations as a tie-breaker. Robbie Keane's rubbish tumble and fake bow and arrow versus Ronaldinho's joyful samba dancing? Step forward Mr. Ronaldinho, winner of the soccer-weblog Goal Of The Week award, which will sit nicely alongside your two World Player Of The Year awards and World Cup winners medal.
