Is Hamburg's Miro Muheim the most dangerous player from long range?

Hamburg defender Muheim has scored three stunning long-range goals this season, including a 30-metre strike clocked at 129.43 km/h — the fastest goal in the Bundesliga this term.

Hamburg defender Miro Muheim has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's most dangerous long-range shooters this season, scoring three spectacular goals from increasingly distant positions.

His latest came against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday, when the 28-year-old Swiss defender struck from 30 metres in the 11th minute to put HSV 1-0 up in what became a 3-1 victory. The shot was clocked at 129.43 km/h, the fastest goal struck in the Bundesliga this season. "I had quite a lot of space, let fly and struck the ball perfectly," Muheim said. "It's obviously an amazing moment when it goes in like that. I practise those shots a lot."

Muheim's other two goals this season came from 21 metres against Hoffenheim (a 94th-minute winner in a 2-2 draw) and 25 metres against Stuttgart (an 88th-minute winner in a 0-0 game). The probability of scoring from those distances was just four, three and two percent respectively — a remarkable achievement across three strikes in one month. His Stuttgart effort was also the second-fastest goal in the Bundesliga this season at 116.7 km/h.
