An Osasuna star has scored a goal from the most unlikely of angles in a La Liga encounter against Getafe.
On Sunday, Osasuna hosted Getafe at the El Sadar, looking to win a second La Liga game in succession.
Ahead of kick off, the home side were 12th in the table with 22 points from their opening 19 matches and hoping to close the gap on 10th place Getafe.
And in the 80th minute, with the scores locked at 2-2, Osasuna Jesus Areso made himself a hero by netting a winner from the most unlikely angles.

The right-back galloped down the flank towards the corner flag, and under pressure from Jordi Martín, fired a speculative shot over the head of Getafe shot-stopper David Soria and into the far corner.
The strike, which admittedly is likely to have been intended as cross, sent the Osasuna fans into jubilant celebration.
Meanwhile, the commentator on Viaplay was astounded by the strike.
Describing the goal he said: "Areso to the corner hoping to win one, and instead he puts it in off the post from an impossible angle.
"What in the world was that? Jesus Arseso just made the impossible look routine.
"It's goal of the year worthy. It might not have been on purpose but it sure does not matter."
Arseso's goal helped Osasuna to a 3-2 scoreline, with the club closing the gap between them and Getafe to just a point.
It was the first time the Pamplona-based team beat Getafe since February 2014, with the capital outfit having previously won four of their last five meetings between the sides in Spain's top flight.
This season, Getafe have gained substantial media attention in the UK, after the club signed Manchester United's Mason Greenwood on loan in the summer transfer deadline day.
The 22-year-old has since scored three goals and claimed four assists in his 16 La Liga games.
