Jaden Philogene, a former Aston Villa youth star now playing for Hull City, scored what many are calling the "rudest goal ever seen." However, despite the incredible effort, Philogene will not be credited with the goal.
The Breakthrough Season
Since his move to Hull City last summer, Jaden Philogene has been making waves with his impressive performances. In just 17 games, the young playmaker has managed to score seven goals, establishing himself as a rising star in English football.
Jaden Philogene looked to have scored the 'goal of the season'
But the strike went down as an own goal
The Goal That Stole the Show
During Hull's 2-1 victory against Rotherham, Jaden Philogene produced a moment of magic that left fans in awe. Picking up the ball in the box, Philogene skillfully twisted and turned, leaving Oliver Rathbone on the ground. With a stunning rabona flick, he lofted the ball over the keeper, Viktor Johansson, and into the net.
Jaden, that is ??????????

Fans erupted with excitement, declaring it the "goal of the season" and one of the best goals they've ever seen. However, despite the overwhelming praise, the goal was not officially awarded to Philogene.
A Cruel Twist of Fate
Rather than being recognized for his incredible skill, Jaden Philogene's goal was deemed an own goal. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Philogene's attempted cross took a deflection off Cameron Humphreys before finding the back of the net.
Nevertheless, Hull City secured all three points with a winning goal from substitute Noah Ohio in the 75th minute.
Manager's Praise
Despite the disappointment of being denied the goal, Jaden Philogene received high praise from his manager, Liam Rosenior. Speaking about Philogene's performance, Rosenior emphasized the player's energy and belief in his ability to become a top player.
Rosenior said, "His ability is something we've missed for a long time, and he will only get better with the games he plays. It's not just about the goals and showreel moments; it's the energy he brings to the team. His goal truly changed the momentum of the match."
The manager also commended the team's overall performance and their fighting spirit in a challenging away game against Rotherham.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Premier League determined?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams still are level, then a game at a neutral ground may decide the title. But this scenario is not known to have happened in Premier League.
What is VAR’s role in Premier League?
The Premier League uses the Video Assistant Referee, or VAR, system to assist referees on the field in making correct decisions. This includes goals, penalties, incidents involving direct red cards, and misidentification. The VAR analyses the footage in question, advises and guides the referee. Before making a decision, the referee has the option of viewing a playback on the pitchside screen. The system is designed to reduce human error that can affect the outcome of matches.
What happens when a Premier League team is relegated to the bottom?
At the end of each Premier League season, the teams that finish in the bottom three positions of the league table are relegated to the Championship, which is the second tier of English football. The Championship’s top two teams, plus the winner from the Championship playoffs get promoted in their place.
Is the Premier League subject to any financial regulations or rules?
Financial Fair Play (FFP), also known as Premier League financial regulations, is intended to keep clubs from overspending and to encourage financial stability. The rules stipulate that clubs must limit their losses for a period of three years and ensure their expenditures don’t exceed their football-related earnings. The regulations have been put in place as a way to encourage responsible expenditure and to maintain the competitive balance of the league.
What makes the Premier League different from other European football leagues
Premier League is different from other European Leagues because of its global appeal. Financial strength, competitive depth, and international appeal are all factors that make it stand out. The Premier league enjoys a wide international audience with lucrative TV rights deals. The Premier League is also known for being unpredictable. On any given matchday lower-ranked sides have a good chance to defeat the top teams. The fast-paced game and the intense atmosphere of stadiums also add to the uniqueness of the Premier League.
