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!

Winger Matty Etherington unsurprisingly gave credit to Michail Antonio for providing the cross for Andy's goal.
What a goal!! Decent service from wide areas and Carroll will score goals. Massive win and really pleased for the manager..#COYI
