Each goal is taken from the shot map of its match: the exact spot on the pitch where the ball was struck. The distance is a straight line from there to the centre of the goal, so a goal from the halfway line measures about 52 metres and one from the edge of the penalty area about 17. The curve drawn on each pitch shows the direction of the strike; the number is the measurement.
Penalties are excluded, and so are own goals, which a shot map records from the defender's side of the pitch and would otherwise put at the top of the list. The list covers the current season of every competition, so leagues that play across the calendar year count from the start of their own season.

Frequently asked questions
What is the longest goal of the season?+
Kobe Hernández-Foster holds it with a 85-metre goal v Brooklyn in the USL Championship on 30 Sept, scored in the 90th minute.
What is the longest Premier League goal this season?+
Diego Gómez's 51-metre goal v Crystal Palace on 18 Oct is the longest in the Premier League this season.
How is the distance of a goal measured?+
In a straight line from the spot the shot was struck to the centre of the goal, using the shot's coordinates on a 105 by 68 metre pitch. It is the same distance the shot map on each match page shows.
Are penalties and own goals included?+
No. Penalties are left out, and so are own goals, which would otherwise top the list from a defender's own six-yard box. Only goals scored from open play and set pieces count.
How often is this list updated?+
Every few hours. New matches are checked shortly after their shot maps are published, usually within an hour of full time, and a goal that makes a league's top 12 appears here automatically.
