On the 25th June 2016, a wonderful Xherdan Shaqiri bicycle-kick won the goal of the tournament at the European Championships in France.
It was a stroke of genius from the 5ft 5inch wizard. He wrapped his wand of a left foot around the ball and delivered one of the best moments of the summer.
Over eleven months after than memorable goal against Poland, the Stoke City winger has produced the goods once again.

This isn't the first time Shaqiri has produced the goods in 2017.
Back in April, Mark Hughes' Stoke City were tasked with an entertaining relegation-battle Hull City, but the visitors endured a miserable outing.

Arnautovic opened the proceedings in the opening few minutes before Harry Maguire equalized after the break.
But Peter Crouch put 'The Potters' back in the lead courtesy of a brilliant header with Stoke's Swiss ace Xherdan Shaqiri rounding off the scoring with an incredible strike.
But things could have been very different for the Swiss international.

Back in December last year, Shaqiri revealed that he could have moved to the Premier League a lot earlier. He may have joined Stoke for a fee of £12 million in July 2015, but was close to signing for Liverpool back in 2014.
The winger was in regular contact with then Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers and was heavily linked with a move to Anfield.

However the potential move never came about because Bayern did not wish to let him leave and blocked the move. He recalled the events in an interview with German website Spox.

He said: "I wanted to leave in summer by all means and had offers from Liverpool and Atletico.

"Brendan Rodgers called me several times before the World Cup. But Bayern forbid me to leave."
Interesting.
