Aaron Ramsey scored a goal straight out of a video game last night as Arsenal dominated Galatasaray to record a 4-1 win in a half empty stadium in Istanbul.
The goal, his second of the evening, was a stunning half-volley, with his body twisting, that flew past goalkeeper Sinan Bolat and into the top corner at 56mph.
The goal was so good even Galatasaray fans stood and applauded.
The strike, somehow swinging in at the last minute, not only caused a storm on the internet, but Arsenal team-mates Wojciech Szczesny (above) and Yaya Sanogo (below) were left equally stunned, with priceless reactions to the goal.
Arsenal fans said it should already be considered for next year's Puskas Award - given for best goal in a calendar year.
After the match, Ramsey said: "The ball came to the edge of the box and I thought, 'why not have a go?
"So I had a go and it went in." He later admitted on Twitter that it was the best goal he'd scored in his career.
Below are some of the best Tweets:
Arsenal supporters will be hoping that Ramsey, who has struggled for form this season, will return to the level he was playing at last season, when he scored 15 goals in the opening three months of the season.
