WATCH: Aaron Ramsey's Audacious 'Panenka' Penalty Was Even More Incredible Than You First Realised

This was more than just a penalty...

Aaron Ramsey was the talk of social media last night after the Welsh midfielder scored a ridiculous 'Panenka' penalty against Serbia in their World Cup qualifier.

The match ended 1-1, with Newcastle striker Alexander Mitrovic canceling out Ramsey's sublime effort - but the Arsenal man's penalty kick was the biggest talking point for more than one reason.

It was a marvelous chip that sold the goalkeeper completely, but it's significance in terms of where and when it was taken gives the goal another aspect.

In case you missed it, here's Ramsey's delightful penalty:

Ramsey scored a Panenka penalty in the exact same goal and stadium where the original Panenka was scored in 1976 by Antonín Panenka.

Czech Republic striker Antonin Panenka beat German goalkeeper Sepp Maier with that famous penalty at the 1976 European Championships, and it was taken in the Rajko Mitic Stadium.

Whether Ramsey knew if he was actually creating a piece of history in that moment is unknown, but what a way to score a penalty - in the home of the Panenka.

Here's Panenka's famous penalty against the Germans:

Here's how Twitter reacted tp Ramsey's audacious effort:

Take a bow, Aaron Ramsey.

Surely he knew about Panenka's penalty all those years ago? Even if he didn't, what a finish and what an occasion.
