Bayern Munich star Michael Olise scored one of the best goals of the Champions League season so far in his side's 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
Olise has quickly settled into life in Munich after signing for the German giants from Crystal Palace in the summer.
He has 10 goal contributions to his name in 15 Bundesliga appearances for Vincent Kompany's side, and had scored two goals in five Champions League matches before Tuesday night.
The Frenchman started on the right hand side for Bayern and gave them a 3-1 lead in the second half from the penalty spot.

But it was his second goal of the night, scored in the third minute of injury time, that was the most special.
Receiving the ball from 45 yards out with his back to goal, Olise dribbled past two players before making the decision to charge into the penalty area.
That move took out a further three defenders from the equation, before he took the ball past a fourth to leave himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk.

The 22-year-old then cleverly waited for the goalkeeper to commit to the dive before placing the ball into a half empty net.
Commentator Gary Taphouse described the goal as akin to 'a kick-about in the park' - and it's easy to see why. Take a look below.
Olise was praised by manager Vincent Kompany for his start to his time in Munich, telling reporters after a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in September: "He's a special talent.

"It's a luxury at Bayern to have so many good players. Michael did very well. His start at FC Bayern couldn't be much better - he has to keep going this way.
"I haven't got the feeling that he's a player who feels much pressure. He just enjoys football."
