WATCH: Andy Carroll Scores Outrageous Scissor Kick Against Crystal Palace

You would be forgiven for looking at the headline of this article and thinking, "no he fucking doesn't" but big, bad Andy Carroll has just pulled off a sensational scissor kick to put West Ham into a 2-0 lead against Crystal Palace.

The former Newcastle United striker has struggled in East London since his £17m move four years ago, with injuries constantly derailing his progress.

But today, the towering Geordie has just made Hammers fans forget all about Dimitri Payet with a piece of absolute sorcery.

Carroll's acrobatic heroics today have left Hammers' fans asking 'Dimitri who?' during this afternoon's London derby with Palace.

Nope, we can't believe what we've just seen, either.
