After Dimitri Payet bagged a brilliant solo effort against Middlesbrough on Saturday to earn the Hammers a point, the Frenchman became one of the most talked-about subjects on social media.
His 57th-minute moment of inspiration sent Twitter into a frenzy as many compared the 29-year-old to the likes of Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and George Best.
A number of former Hammers - including Rio Ferdinand and Matthew Etherington - also got involved in the discussion online and praised the star's wonderful goal.
Here are some of the best reactions following Dimi's outrageous piece of magic...
Dimitri Payet just scored one of those goals you'll see the likes of Diego Maradona or Garrincha score in a ridiculous highlight package.
