This Scorpion Kick Golazo from Manchester United's Mkhitaryan is Just... Wow

It's hard to argue with a one-footed, high-velocity, diving Scorpion kick that finds side netting.

Well, people. You can go home—pack it up. I think we've found our EPL goal of the year here. It's hard to argue with a one-footed, high-velocity, diving Scorpion kick that finds side netting. Not to mention some involvement with one certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It really is an act of perfection. The sheer impulse from Henrikh Mkhitaryan to kick up the back of his leg at the moment he realizes the ball is behind him. Just one tiny flick with the studs to redirect the ball agonizingly out of the Sunderland keeper's reach. Sunderland would come back to score one more goal, but it's a wonder they did. That kind of legendary golazo is straight-up demoralizing.
