Here’s a goal so good it makes us long for the days of Laurent Robert and Morten Gamst Pedersen.

Club Atletico Lanus are a relatively unheralded mid-table outfit in Argentina, whose only domestic title came in 2007’s ‘Apertura’.

But this thundering strike from midfielder Nicolas Aguirre – against giants River Plate, no less – helped put them back on the world football map.

Goalkeeper Marcelo Barovero had no chance.
