The undisputed goal of the weekend goes to Bayer Leverkusen’s Erin Derdiyok for this belter of a bicycle-kick against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Take a bow.

Sit back and be prepared to be amazed by a quite breathtaking goal by Erin Derdiyok, who struck the second goal in Leverkusen’s 3-1 win over Steve McLaren’s former charges.

Football fans the world over drooled over Wayne Rooney’s shinned bicycle kick against Manchester City last season, but this effort takes the biscuit.

Derdiyok expertly trapped a lobbed through ball, lobbed the ball up for himself and finished with an expertly-executed bicycle kick that gave Wolfsburg ‘keeper Diego Benaglio no chance.

If the referee subsequently booked him for taking his jersey off in his deservedly over-exuberant celebrations, he should never be allowed take charge of a game again.
