The man scored a beauty earlier in the match, but Daniel Sturridge's 2nd goal vs Aston Villa was one of class and ease. Just like his first goal in the match, Sturridge received the ball and this time dumped it off to teammate Philipe Coutinho, who then gave a cutting Sturridge a perfectly placed back heel pass resulting in a peach of a goal for LFC. 

It was a long time coming but he's back. This Daniel Sturridge volley vs Aston Villa may just be the thing that Liverpool has needed all season, a threat at the striker position. With Liverpool already up  1-0, Sturridge received a pass and did what he does best. He sent it off to James Milner and bolted into the box and was on the recieving end of a great ball back from Milner. The world class finish was and abosulte beaut, and was well deserved after the long road back from injury for Sturrdg. 

Hopes are high in Paris and they should be with the way the Zlatan Cavani duo have produced this season. The Swede and the Uruguayan linked up for one of the nicer goals of the Champions League and Laurent Blanc's bunch are looking dangerous earlier on in European compition. 

Taking on an entire defense on your own takes stones and that is what Hatem Ben Arfa had when he scored this unreal solo goal. The 28-year-old from France began his run fending off a defender and then going balls to the wall towards the goal. Ben Arfa kept his head up and went at 5 St. Etienne defenders before blasting a low right footed shot past the keeper. 

Everyone, Robert Lewandowski scored 5 goals in 9 minutes. Now there are a lot of things that can happen in 9 minutes, but scoring 5 goals in a Bundesliga match against a top opponent in the league is about as much an anomaly as Donald Trump leading the primaries for the GOP. But both things are happening, and the goal explosion has spurred something special for Lewandowski. The Polish player has been on an absolte tear since the 5 goal performance. Since then he has added 7 more goals in the following three games after arguably the best 10 minute soccer performance of all time.

This Christen Eriksen goal for Tottenham is what Spurs fans were expecting from the Denmark international this season. The lad has had a slow start in the Premier League, but his two goal performance this weekend may be a sign for what's to come from the 23-year-old. Sitting in the middle of the tabe and coming off a 4-1 shalacking of first place Chelsea, Tottenham looked to steal three points from a solid Swansea team who hasn't won since their 2-1 victory over Manchester United back in August.

An Alexis Sanchez goal in the first five minutes of the match vs Manchester United set the tone for the Gunners as they marched their way to a 3-0 victory in the Emirates this weekend. Alexis Sanchez continued his tear netting this ridiculous back heel to put the Gunners up 1-0. Only a minute late Mesut Ozil added to the tally and the route was on. It was a vintage Arsenal performance as the Gunners played with pace and creativity, while Manchester United looked stuck in the mud. The result was what Arsenal needed after coming off a Champions League loss to Olympiakos.

Is there anything he can't do?! No. Is this his best goal ever? WE DON'T KNOW. This Lionel Messi goal in The Copa Del Rey final just might win the award for the greatest La Pulga goal ever. But what about his goal vs Getafe? Or when he ended Jerome Boateng? And dozens of others that we simply just can't mention because then this post would get way too long. Here's the deal. Messi is the greatest player of the generation. I don't think most players would even try to do what he did in this goal, let alone actually pull it off.
