What is a 'headed goal'?

A headed goal is when a player scores by striking the ball with their head rather than their feet. It requires excellent timing and positioning, often from a cross or a corner kick. Haaland's 20 headed Premier League goals make him a record holder for Manchester City, highlighting his aerial prowess and versatility as a striker.
