Social Hammers - Andy's wonder-goal

Social media came alive with praise for Andy Carroll's Goal of the Season contender against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The West Ham United No9 netted an unforgettable scissor kick to double the Hammers' lead on the way to a 3-0 Premier League victory at London Stadium.

Current and former teammates, fellow professionals and pundits alike were united in lauding the Big Man's wonder-goal, as you can see below!

 

Former Hammers and England centre forward Dean Ashton led the acclaim, making reference to his own scissor kick, which went viral after he scored in Mark Noble's Testimonial.

 

 

Broadcaster Piers Morgan might be an Arsenal fan, but he made a bold claim about Andy's wonder-strike!

 

 

Ex-West Ham midfielder Don Hutchison was delighted not only for AC, but also for manager and former teammate Slaven Bilic!

 

 

Another former West Ham player, Ian Bishop, was equally impressed with the goal and performance after a challenging week.

 

 

Winger Matty Etherington unsurprisingly gave credit to Michail Antonio for providing the cross for Andy's goal.

 

 

We night not have been on first on Saturday night, but that didn't mean BBC's Match of the Day weren't impressed!

 

 

Trevor Sinclair knows a thing or two about scissor kicks...

 

 

Joint-Chairman David Gold hailed a job well done by all.

 

 

The man who made the goal was pleased to see his hard work didn't go to waste!

 

 

While another former Hammer says the team has pulled together in the face of adversity.

 

 

Marlon's Saturday night viewing was sorted!

 

The goal clearly caught your imaginations too...
