Individual brilliance ... Kevin Mirallas was the difference for Everton this weekend. Source: News Limited/AFP / AAP
Everton can thank a moment of magic from Kevin Mirallas for their win against Stoke City, as they keep pace with the race for a spot in Europe.
The Beligan achieved one of football's spectacular sights - an individual solo goal-scoring effort from within your own half, to collect this week's goal of the week award.
He burst clear of Steven N'Zonzi and left Geoff Cameron chasing shadows before a sharp finish.
It's not every day we get to enjoy goals like that. Here's some of recent pearlers - and a couple of oldies that have made football annals, you'll never forget them.
Which is your favourite?
Nicky Carle - Newcastle Jets v Adelaide United, 2006
This famous run from Carle is one of the enduring images of the A-League's early days and the goal of the season in 2006-2007.
Lionel Messi - Barcelona v Getafe, 2007
Comparisons with Diego Maradona reached fever pitch when Barcelona's star decided to collect a ball from inside his own half and dazzle his way past Getafe to score a goal reminiscent of the great Argentine.
Diego Maradona - Argentina v England, 1986
Speaking of the great man, we can't put together this compilation without this goal.
George Weah - AC Milan v Verona, 1996
At the peak of his powers, the Liberian was one of the hottest properties in world football - and was named the 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year. Here's why.
Kaka - Brazil v Argentina, 2009
No surprise to see so many South Americans on this list. Here's a reminder why Kaka, off the radar a bit at Real Madrid, was such a precocious talent.
Ronaldo - Barcelona v Compostela, 1996
The Brazilian legend was one hell of a player in his day. And not just a fox in the box, as this shows.
Ryan Giggs - Manchester United v Arsenal, 1999
This goal hardly needs an introduction. Outrageous not only for the skill, but the context - sending Manchester United into the FA Cup final.
