Watch: PSG's Opening Goal Against Caen Is Absolute Filth

PSG went 1-0 up against Caen at the Parc des Princes this evening in glorious fashion.

In the Ligue One leaders' final game of the year, Edinson Cavani notched the opener for his 19th league goal in 18 games and it may well be the best one he's scored this term.

The red-hot Uruguayan striker has bagged his fair share of belters this season, but there's something very special about this one.

In the 21st minute, Kylian Mbappe, celebrating his 19th birthday today, completely and utterly destroyed the visitors with a superb run on the right flank, rinsing three players and delivering a cross in the box for Cavani.

But with the ball coming at him so quickly, the former Napoli and Palermo man had to adjust and promptly produced a disgustingly good back-heeled finish into the corner.

These type of goals have become increasingly more common in the game in recent years but you'll struggle to find a better one than Cavani's. It's breathtaking stuff.

Incredibly, the goal was his 53rd in 2017, and you could definitely say he saved the best until last.

Here's how social media reacted:

Just before you ask, yes it's perfectly acceptable to watch that Cavani goal for hours on end...
