Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United scored a bicycle kick in the Premier League which was a similar strike to Wayne Rooney's acrobatic goal against Manchester City 12 years ago.
Manchester United were back in action after a short November International break and they went head-to-head with Everton on Sunday, November 26.
The Red Devils bagged three points to secure their place in the 6th position of the Premier League table, thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Anthony Martial.
However, it was Alejandro Garnacho, the 19-year-old Argentine winger acrobatic eye-catching stunning goal that left fans in shock and was compared to Wayne Rooney's strike in a derby game years ago.
With his back to goal, the former Atletico Madrid young star met a wide cross from near the box by Diogo Dalot with a flying bicycle kick that sent the ball beyond Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and into the top corner of the net at Goodison Park.
The outstanding strike came in the third minute of play and handed the visitors an early lead before halftime.
The stunning goal had echoes of Rooney's popular overhead kick against Man City in 2011 that secured a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.
Garnacho looked astonished that he had pulled off the measure, which was scarcely unique when compared to that of Rooney.
The 19-year-old Argentina international ran off to provide a Cristiano Ronaldo famous SIUUUU celebration in front of Everton's fans.
The goal set Manchester United on course for a 3-0 triumph, only banking the suffering on Everton, who were last week deducted 10 points for breaching FA financial rules.
After the game, Garnacho said that he couldn't believe he scored the goal at first, he said; "I can’t believe it. To be honest, I just turned around and thought, 'Oh my God'".
Man United head coach Erik ten Hag said the goal was "probably the goal of the season" while Man United captain Bruno Fernandes said, "I have no words to describe it. It is out of this world".
Garnacho goal against Everton was also compared to Ronaldo's wonderful overhead kick for Real Madrid in 2018 in a UEFA Champions League game against Juventus.
Alejandro Garnacho’s acrobatic kick was so spectacularly and improbably accurate that its memory will take an incredibly long time to fade.
Wayne Rooney once scored a similar outstanding scissor kick for the Red Devils against the Citizens, which is safe to say Rooney's own was better by a distance.
Everton, driven on by the energy of a home crowd pressing on comprehended injustice, created several good opportunities but the home team took none of them.
Andre Onana in the Man United goal had a very nice day and so did the Red Devils young midfield player Kobbie Mainoo.
However, the Old Trafford outfit still have much work to do to reach last season’s improved stages.
They lack inflection and cohesion and still, fans linger to see what Ten Hag’s chosen style of play really is.
In addition, they are starting to win matches and that is something which they can at least try to build on.
What's next for Manchester United?
It remains to be seen if the 20-time Premier League champions will build on their recent success in the next game.
However, Erik ten Hag and his men will shift their attention to the UEFA Champions League game against Galatasaray on Wednesday, November 29 in a clash to secure their place in the knockout stage.
